Cypress All-Access Passport:
Help with Textbook, Food, and Transportation Costs
| |
The Cypress All-Access Passport is your ticket to three amazing programs that assist with the additional costs of pursuing higher education brought by textbooks, food, and transportation.
We understand that textbook, food, and transportation costs really add up, so Cypress College is launching a one-year pilot program to provide a Book Pass, Food Pass, and Bus Pass as part of the All-Access Passport to help alleviate the stress and worries that come with funding an education.
| |
|  The Charger Book Pass provides all your required textbook-related course materials for no more than $100 per semester. Once you register for any class, you're in the program!
If for some reason you decide you'd prefer not to use the Charger Book Pass or it simply does not make financial sense for your class situation, you may opt out of the program. The opt-out deadline is February 14. More information is available on the Charger Book Pass page.
| |  | The Charger Food Pass provides all spring-enrolled students with $12 to purchase meals, drinks, and snacks at the Charger Cafe Monday-Friday during the semester.
How does it work? It's simple!
Pick up your personal Charger Food Pass Card during the first two weeks of the semester.
Please note: This program will evolve as the semester continues and our technology expands.
| |  The Charger Bus Pass provides students with an unlimited-ride pass for OC Bus fixed local routes valid throughout the semester through the college's partnership with the OC Transit Authority.
Simply download the OC Bus app and create an account with your Cypress College preferred email address (the email address you receive official college communications at).
