Parking Options
HOURLY: Parking is available on an hourly basis at various locations on campus (e.g. Welcome Centre, Mattson Centre and Campus Service Centre, RSC) and provides students, staff, faculty and visitors with quick access for short term stays. All vehicles must display a valid hourly parking ticket or a complimentary pass. Parking tickets can be purchased at the flag pole or RSC underground parking pass dispensers.
DAILY Permit: Purchase a dispenser daily permit ($6.50) and display on dash to park in any “C” (commuter) lot.
WEEKLY Permit: Purchase a 7 day permit ($23.00) from a parking meter machine and display on dash to park in any “C” (commuter) lot. Note that the Reimer Student Centre underground lot is a “reserved” and “pay hourly” lot and therefore weekly permits are not valid for this lot.
YEARLY Permit: Residence and commuter students may purchase a parking permit decal valid for the academic year (September – April) by presenting accurate vehicle details (colour/make/model/license plate) to Parking Services. Failure to give correct information may result in a parking violation. Yearly permit decals are $350.00 for resident students and $320.00 for commuting students (GST included). Robson underground permits are $450 and are available to Robson residents on a first come, first served basis. A permit decal can be obtained throughout the academic year on a pro-rated basis till the end of February and refunds are available on a pro-rated basis at any time, provided your permit decal is returned to Parking Services. Should a student’s status change from Resident to Commuter, your permit decal must be exchanged at Security & Parking Services. If you use multiple vehicles, a “hangtag” may be obtained from Parking Services once a photocopy of the vehicle’s insurance (for both family vehicles) is presented. Anyone using a homemade or unauthorized hangtag will be ticketed for violation of the Parking Guidelines.
TEMPORARY Permit: If your registered vehicle is in for repairs, you must obtain a temporary parking permit, obtained free of charge from Security & Parking Service, for any interim vehicle parked on campus.
DISABILITY Permit: Persons holding a valid “Disabled Person” parking permit from any province or state may park in disabled person parking spaces or in non-reserved spaces throughout campus that assists convenient access to our facilities. Please register your vehicle with Security & Parking Services.
