Parking Services

We have an overflow process in place. For instance – If a lot 8 permit holder arrives and lot 8 is full, they are welcome to park in lot 9 at no additional cost. The same concept applies to lot 9, who can park in lot 16. If you are still unable to find a space, our team can help in person in E120 (across from Starbucks) or by calling 613.727.4723 x7187.

Parking permits can be purchased online. Daily parking options are also available for purchase online or via the Honk Mobile app/website.

When you purchase parking, you will receive a receipt however, you will not receive a physical permit. Parking Services is now using Licence Plate Recognition. This is an easy and convenient way to identify your parking permit by scanning your licence plate, eliminating the need for a physical parking permit.

Please ensure that your licence plate information is up to date. Your registered licence plate provides access to your designated parking lot.

Your parking username and password are the same you use for your email, and to log into a computer on campus.  You can find this information in your ACSIS account.  If you’re a new student, your username and password should be available on ACSIS after your timetable is released).  You will need your network username and password to purchase a parking permit online.

If parking permits are sold out, you can add yourself to the wait list and you will be contacted when a parking spot becomes available. Click here to find out how to log in and add yourself to the wait list.

A small grace period is provided to all non-permitted vehicles upon arrival to allow time to purchase a permit from a nearby pay station.

All parking lot privileges remain the same and are based upon your permit type associated with your licence plate. Vehicles parked in areas on campus not associated with their permit type will be subject to a parking violation.

You can register as many vehicles as you want under the same parking permit however, you can only park one vehicle at a time under that permit. Any additional vehicles found on campus at the same time, under the same parking permit, will be subject to parking violation. Two vehicles listed under the same parking permit may be on campus at the same time if the second vehicle purchases daily or short-term parking.

You can add/remove vehicles to your parking permit (parking account) at any time, including loaner or rental vehicles. It is important that you remove vehicles from your account as soon as your use of the temporary vehicle has ended.

No, you do not need to display your receipt. All of the Park, Pay and Go stations on campus are integrated with Licence Plate Recognition (LPR). These pay stations will not dispense paper permits unless a receipt is required, but instead will allow you to use your licence plate number that you have entered to generate a permit for your vehicle for daily, evening/weekend or short-term parking.

If you do allow someone else to use or buy your parking permit, you will still be held accountable for any fees, Parking Infraction Notices, or account changes. We strongly recommend you do not allow anyone else to use your pass for any reason.

Prior to September 2018, access to parking lots was included in fees for continuing education students (who mainly attended class in the evenings/weekends). Starting September 1, 2018, those fees were removed and we have shifted to a user pay model for evenings/weekends.

If you have a parking permit, you do not have to pay additional for evenings/weekends – your pass allows you to park on campus seven days a week, 6 am to 11:59 pm in your designated lot.
