Payroll Deduction Automatic Renewal
Your Bear Pass will be automatically renewed and mailed to you if you are on payroll deduction, have employment that continues into this year and are currently a Bear Pass Holder. Payroll deduction will continue to be made automatically from your paycheck. Your payroll deduction will automatically be adjusted to the new rate effective July 1st.
You will need to take action or cancel during the renewal period only if you:
- have had an address change since July 1 last year
- are on furlough during the summer months and do not want the pass during the time you are away from campus. In that case, you will want to cancel your Bear Pass and renew it at the P&T office upon your return.
- do not want to continue in the program.
Otherwise, you do not need to do anything. We will mail a new Bear Pass to your home address in June.

If you do not want to continue in the program, you do not need to do anything. Your pass will expire on June 30 this year.
