Students who live in residence can pay to park anywhere on campus. You can purchase hourly, daily or monthly passes.

The Allard Hall and Robbins Underground Parkades are more expensive but offer the convenience of heated parking

All university parking is coordinated by Parking Services. You can contact them with questions about parking, including parking lot maintenance.
