Please read the below carefully before buying to understand which permit to buy and the required documents needed for pick-up.
Student Unreserved
If you are a student that lives off campus, you will only be eligible to purchase a UNRESERVED permit for Fall, Winter, and Spring, dependent on the term you are purchasing for. This permit allows you to park in either C, N, W, or X lot. The cost is $208.50 plus taxes ($235.61) for the term. Each student is only eligible to purchase one unreserved permit per student.
Residence or CLV-N
All students living in a University residence will purchase a permit specifically for the residence they live at: UWP, CLV-N, CLV-S, or Villages. With the student population on campus growing each year, we have are starting to reach the limits at the parking lots, therefore students living in residence are only eligible to purchase a resident parking permit and cannot purchase dual permits i.e. a Unreserved Student permit and a Resident permit. We will have the opportunity to offer a wait list for those wishing to have a resident and student permit in the future if space allows it. If you like to be on the wait list for the beginning term please advise Sustainable Transportation. Please be advised we will only add you to the wait list for those permits that are available for purchase at the time. Students living in Velocity must come in to purchase their permits, as the system will not allow for online purchasing for this lot. The cost is $208.50 per term.
Pharmacy
You can only purchase this permit if you are registered for Pharmacy program at the Satellite campus in Downtown Kitchener. This is the only permit you qualify for if you are registered in a valid program. Permits for the Downtown Kitchener campus will remain at $150 plus tax until further notice.
