• Undergraduate Subscription Fees

• Graduate Subscription Fees
• Accommodation: First-come-first-serve basis

Bus Service Subscription

• Students who use the bus regularly are advised to subscribe for a full year or semester-by-semester for a cheaper trip price.
• Students who would like to subscribe to the bus service must complete a banner subscription before the "late payment deadline with extra charges" date specified each semester in theAUC Academic Calendar.
• Students who miss the subscription deadline would have to pay a ticket per ride.
• Scholarship/fellowship students must as well do the subscription within the stipulated deadline to avoid being charged a ticket per ride.

Bus Service Automated Ticket-Per-Ride Service

This ticket-per-ride service is more convenient for non-regular bus riders. The bus service turnstiles charge a ticket price of EGP 120 upon swiping the student ID. The charged tickets then go to the student banner for settlement, all at once.

How Does the Ticketing System Work?

• Upon swiping the ID on the turnstile, a notification email is sent to the student with the ticket details.
• The tickets are accumulated and charged to the student account twice per semester (mid-semester charge and end-of-semester charge)
• If a student has an issue with any of the ticket details, he/she must contact us immediately after receiving the ticket notification to resolve it. In this case, the student should forward the ticket notification email along with a briefing on the issue.

Bus Fees Refund Policy

Requests for refund of bus fees are treated as follows:

1. Full-Year Subscription

• 100% refund if requested within the first two weeks of the fall semester (after deducting the tickets of the consumed rides)
• 70% refund if requested within the following two weeks of the fall semester (after deducting the tickets of the consumed rides)
• After the first month of the fall semester, students who wish to refund can refund only the portion of the subscription in excess of the full fall semester subscription.
• After the beginning of the winter semester, students who wish to refund can refund only the portion of the subscription in excess of the full fall and winter semesters' subscriptions.
