Your Students’ Council and Western University work together to oversee Orientation Week at Western! The Orientation Pass (OPass) Fee included on your fee bill is your ticket to all the OWeek activities. These activities include access to concerts, games and other events on campus, and are made possible in part through this fee.

For almost all incoming students, the $144.57 ($127.94 plus $16.63 HST) OPass fee is automatically included in your tuition. If you are a new to Western student who is unable to participate in Orientation Week, you can request a refund for this amount on your fee statement. 

For those who do not have the OPass automatically added to their accounts, you may still eligible to attend OWeek. We will be sending you an email mid-August with information on where/when/how you can opt-in.

The deadline to opt-out of paying the Fee is August 15th, 2024.
