If you are a current North Parkade commuting permit holder and would like to permanently switch to West Parkade or Thunderbird Parkade due to current capacity issues, please contact our office at parking.support@ubc.ca . We can arrange to transfer your permit for the remainder of your current permit term.
Waitlists are now open.*
West and North Parkades are expected to sell out. Be sure to select waitlists for 4 parkades (the maximum allowed) to maximize your chances of receiving a permit offer.
Please note: The Commuting waitlist will close on Nov 30 and reopen for Winter (Term 2) on Dec 15. Term 2 offers will commence in Jan 2027.
*Commuting Graduate students do not need to join the waitlist, as permits will be available for purchase in mid-August.
May purchase a parking permit by entering a waitlist using their Parking Account.
Waitlist offers are sent weekly via email when available. See map.
Make sure to include Fairview Underground in your waitlist selection to increase your chances of receiving an offer. All other locations are currently sold out.
*When offered a permit, you may select a start date up to 2 months in advance.
If you need parking more than 2 months from now, please enter the waitlist closer to your desired date.
