You are assigned a locker until the end of the winter semester and no changes are allowed during the year. You may not choose your locker’s location. The lock is the property of Polytechnique Montréal and must always remain in the locker.
Following your request, the Service des Immeubles will send you your locker number and the combination for your lock via email.
The OPUS card allows you to use public transportation in the city - the Société de transport de Montréal (STM). If you are a full-time student (or considered a full-time student), you can pay reduced fares by purchasing a student OPUS card (photo required).
TO OBTAIN YOUR STUDENT OPUS CARD:
1. ONLINE
If you meet eligibility criteria, you can apply online from your Student File: dossieretudiant.polymtl.ca.
Once you have confirmed your registration at Polytechnique (full-time), the option "Order an OPUS Card" will automatically appear in the main menu of your Student File.
Attention: To order the OPUS card online, you must already have your Polytechnique Montréal Student ID card, because the photo from your Polytechnique ID card will be used by the STM for your OPUS card. Please allow 24 hours for the transfer of your photo to your Student File. To see the Student ID card issuance schedule, please consult the Institutional Security Service website.
Please note that you must have a valid address in Quebec, as that mailing address will be used by the STM to send you your OPUS card by postal mail. To update your mailing address, please log in to your Student File, go to the "Renseignements personnels" page and change your address under the tab "Coordonnées".
