Annual or semester permit: Which one is right for me?

An annual permit is valid for 12 months. It costs the same as two semester permits. Save 33 per cent on the per-semester price!

A semester permit is only valid for four months at a time:

• Fall – September 1 to December 31
• Winter – January 1 to April 30
