Planning to purchase a parking permit for the winter semester? Learn about current tiers, rates and options for parking on campus.
On Sept. 1, 2021, the following changes took effect:
- Tiered-pricing parking zones and updated rates. Parking lots are no longer separately distinguished for faculty, staff or student use only. Subject to availability, U of G community members may purchase permits for any black (premium interior), red (basic interior) or yellow (value perimeter) lot. See the map on the Parking Services website to identify lots by colour. Permits can be purchased at any time for the year, semester or month.
Learn more about the new lot types on the Campus Parking website.
- Cashless payments at lots and in the Parking Services office. Use the PayByPhone app or the 1-800 number at designated spots to pay by the hour or by the day. Cash is not accepted in lots or at the Parking Services office.
- Parking Services accounts for purchasing permits. To purchase a permit, you must create a Parking Services account. Use your account to pay for specific permit types via payroll deduction, Visa, MasterCard or Visa Debit.
- Virtual permits replace previous physical parking permit tags. When purchasing a permit, you must register it to a licence plate; up to three licence plates may be linked to one permit.
- Daily permits replace previous scratch booklets of parking passes. Discounted day-use permits are available for faculty, staff and students and must be purchased in advance using your Parking Services account.
- Updated Parking Policy and Traffic and Parking Regulations.
