Both choices come in a reusable bag. Staple foods such as apples, carrots, bananas, oranges, onions and potatoes will be included every month, the rest of the items will vary depending on what is in season. Each produce bag also includes information on how to prepare and store your food, and new recipes based on their speciality food item of the month. To order a bag, you must pay before the first Thursday of every month to the Help Desk and pick up is the second Thursday of every month in the afternoon at the Help Desk.

UNIVERSAL BUS PASS
In 2006 a referendum was passed at St. Thomas University to create a campus-wide bus pass for use on Fredericton Transit. Because of this, every student at St. Thomas University is eligible to use Fredericton transit all year while their student ID is valid. The bus is especially useful to students who live off-campus outside of walking distance.
Now all STUdents can claim their bus pass by downloading the Mobile Hotspot App and entering their student ID!
If you have any issues with the bus pass or have any suggestions for an improvement, please contact the Vice-President Student Life at su_vpsl@stu.ca.

Every year, we provide STUdents with a STUgenda planner that have every information and resources you might need while studying at STU. Student can pick up a limited copy at our very own JDH Help Desk so be sure to grab one while it last!
