It’s how you affordably access the arts on campus by using your UCard (physical or on your device).
The University of Utah’s award-winning and one-of-a-kind Arts Pass program is fueled by students’ Fine Arts Fees and provides all fee-paying U of U students with free or deeply discounted access to hundreds of arts experiences on campus each year. All you need is your UCard.
UCards are issued to each student of the University of Utah at the UCard Office in the Union Building. Just bring your Ucard (physical or digitally on your device) to the box office at or at the door of each venue night of the performance. Mention you’re a student, swipe your UCard and you’re in!
*Students may only pick up their own student tickets and not for others.
