Winter Parking Permits 2025

There will be approximately 500 winter parking permits available for the winter 2025 term.

Priority will be given to those students with winter U-Pass waivers granted for living outside of the transit service area https://carleton.ca/upass/opt-in-and-opt-out/

Students with winter U-Pass waivers will have until 5 p.m. Friday, November 29 to forward their U-Pass waiver confirmation email to parking@carleton.ca

Once confirmed, you will be offered a winter parking permit. 

On Monday, December 9, the remaining winter parking permits will be offered to those on the Student Permit Waiting list (without U-Pass waivers) in chronological order until they have all been issued. The Student Permit Waiting list can be found under the ‘Permits’ tab of your ParkAdmin profile.

Students who are currently on the waitlist will receive an email offer of a winter parking permit based on availability and will have 72 hours to accept. If it is not excepted within 72 hours your name be removed from the waitlist. No action is required until an offer is received.

For students who do not successfully obtain a winter parking permit, there are other options available. There are visitor parking lots across campus that have hourly and daily rates https://carleton.ca/parking/visitors/parking-rates/

Parking Services and the Sustainability Carleton team encourage students to explore commuting alternatives such as walking, cycling, public transit, ride sharing, carpooling, or permit sharing https://carleton.ca/sustainability/

Permit Sharing

If two or more employees/students wish to share the cost of one permit, all participant vehicles may be listed on one parking profile. Carpoolers may split the cost of the permit through one payment. Only one listed vehicle may be parked on campus at any given time. Any supplemental vehicle would be required to pay visitor parking rates if parking for more than one listed vehicle was required simultaneously.

For additional information please see Transportation Sustainability Initiatives and/or the Campus Transportation Plan.

We do not require any physical parking permits or visitor parking payment receipts to be displayed. We verify your parking permit/payment by the license plate you have registered on your parking account or have entered into the paystation/HotSpot mobile validation.

Please note that parking fees at 355 Cooper Street (for the Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre) are in affect.
