Guest Parking and Special Events

Departmental Guest Parking

If you are a Departmental Administrator and registered with Parking Services, you may purchase guest permits through your ParkAdmin account by following these simple steps:

1. Log in at carleton.parkadmin.com
2. Click on “Permits” at the top of the screen
3. Find and select the “Visitor SGPP – Campus Guest P&D Lots” permit
4. Pick the correct date, select “GUEST Vehicle…” enter the licence plate number for the vehicle, and then “Reserve Permit”
5. Follow prompts to complete payment for the permit
6. Return to the home screen, locate the permit, and click on the permit number
7. Open the permit as a PDF and send it to your guest electronically.  Note: this is for their records only. They do not need to display this permit when they park on campus.  Their licence plate has been registered in the parking system and will be visible to parking enforcement as being valid.

To register with Parking Services you must be a Departmental Administrator and contact the Parking Services Office at 613 520-3623 or email parking@carleton.ca. The required permissions will be added to your ParkAdmin account.  If you have frequent guests or special events, you should consider an online Departmental parking validation portal (see below).

The responsibility for ensuring vehicles are legally parked and that appropriate parking fees have been paid rests with each vehicle operator.

Parking Validation Portal for Frequent Guests

Departments that frequently host guests may request an online parking validation portal which would allow the Departmental Administrator to validate their guest(s) parking in advance of the scheduled visit.   For more information on the online parking validation portal, please contact the Parking Services Office at 613 520-3623 or email parking@carleton.ca.

Special Events

Parking Services can also help organize parking arrangements for larger events or conferences taking place on campus. If your department or group requires parking arrangements, please contact the Parking Services Office at 613 520-3623 or email parking@carleton.ca.  Arrangements to use campus parking lots can typically be made for evenings and weekends. Parking Services can provide a QR Code/validation link for the event attendees to simplify the parking process. Costs vary based on day, time, and location.

For further information and assistance, please contact Parking Services at 613 520-3623 or email parking@carleton.ca.
