Staff/Faculty Permit Swapping

Staff/Faculty Permit Swapping

Staff/faculty on campus with active parking have the opportunity to switch parking lots with another staff/faculty member looking to change lots as well.

Permit Swapping Eligibility

Both parties must have paid permit parking at the time of the swap. In the event that the faculty/staff member you have swapped lots with has discontinued their parking permit within 6 months after the swap has occurred, the parking department will return you to your original lot. This is to secure staff members who are currently on a waitlist.

You are NOT eligible for swapping if either party is:

• Retiring
• Maternity Leave
• Long-term/short-term disability
• Sick leave
• Unpaid leave
• Summer Suspension
• Does not currently have an active parking permit

You will be required to sign a form agreeing to the above conditions before the swap will be finalized. 

How to Swap

It is your responsibility to get in touch with any individual you are interested in switching lots with. Arrange a time you can both come into Parking Services together, along with ID and your current permits. Parking services will then complete the swap for you. 

The transfer of permits must be facilitated by Parking Services in order to deter from ticketing and/or towing. 

If you are interested in changing lots but can't find anyone to switch with, we can help. 

E-mail uparking@uwaterloo.ca with the following table filled in. The information provided will then be displayed on this web page.
