Visitor Parking

You must display a visitor parking permit to park in any student lot from 6 a.m. Monday to 6 p.m. Friday (a period of 108 consecutive hours).

A one-day visitor parking permit costs $5.40 and must be clearly displayed on the passenger side of your dashboard. 

You can either purchase a daily visitor permit online or purchase one at any of the pay-and-display kiosks, which are located at:

• Visitor Lots 1 & 1A at Collins Circle
• Visitor Lot 2 on Indigenous Quad
• Visitor Lot 3 at Podium West
• Outside of Parking and Mass Transit Services 
• Outside ETEC

Visitor parking permits are purchased for a calendar day. If you need to park overnight, you must purchase a permit for both days.

Visitors who want to park on the Downtown Campus are also required to display a temporary parking permit. The permit is valid only in the Thurlow Parking Lot on Western Avenue and overnight parking is not allowed.

Note: A visitor parking permit allows the holder to park in a legal parking space, if one is available. It does not guarantee the visitor a space.
 

Accessible Parking

Accessible parking is available for visitors who have a license plate or valid placard displaying the Universal Symbol of Access.

Accessible spaces also require a visitor parking permit anytime from 6 a.m. Monday to 6 p.m. Friday (a period of 108 consecutive hours).

Our visitors’ lots collect a $5 payment on entry and do not allow re-entry. Overnight parking is not permitted in visitors’ lots.

Note: Current students, faculty and staff, as well as anyone else eligible to purchase a University parking permit, are not permitted to park in visitors’ lots.

Meters are available in various locations on our Uptown Campus. These short-term, priority parking spots are primarily for visitors but may be used by faculty/staff with proper meter validation. Current students are not authorized to park at meters.  

Meters accept coins, credit cards, debit cards or Flowbird mobile pay for up to one hour of parking. Fees are listed on each meter. Metered parking is purchased in 15-minute increments, for a maximum of one hour.   

Vehicles that remain parked at a meter past the amount of time purchased will be ticketed. Parking is prohibited at a meter that is broken, out of order or covered by a hood. Additionally, overnight parking is not permitted in metered spaces.
