Please email the Parking Office at least five business days before your final day of parking. Include your student number and the exact cancellation date.
I’m starting school in January. When should I apply for parking?
Students beginning in January are encouraged to join the waitlist in December.
How does the waitlist work for commuting permits?
Permits are offered through a waitlist system based on availability.
*Please Note: Joining the waitlist does not guarantee a permit or one specifically in your preferred top ranked areas.
How often are permit offers sent out?
Offers are typically sent weekly, depending on current availability.
How can I improve my chances of getting a permit?
Select up to 4 preferred parking locations when joining the waitlist. Including Thunderbird Parkade is recommended, as it is often available until your preferred location becomes available at a later date.
What if I miss my permit offer deadline?
Expired offers cannot be reissued. Once expired, the space returns to general inventory and will be offered to another waitlisted student. You will again need to add yourself to the waitlist.
