Eligibility, Joining, and Website Information

  • Am I eligible to purchase a ticket?

    If you are a student or faculty member for a government accredited college, community college, or university of 2-4 years, you do qualify as a student/faculty member! You do not need to be attending school full time, as long as you are currently enrolled and taking/teaching classes, you are eligible.

    StudentUniverse also offers Youth Fares. To qualify for Youth Fares, you do not need to be in school, you just need to be under the age of 30. Since we have more fares available for students, if you are both a youth and a student, please join as a student to get the best fares.

    We also have fares anyone can purchase, so if you're not a student, faculty member or youth, you CAN still book with us. Simply join as an ADULT, and you're on your way.

    Sign up, and book a great fare!
