Student Parking for Fall/Winter 2024/2025

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.

Only vehicles with valid Carleton University parking permits are permitted to park in designated permit-only parking areas from 0700h to 2230h (7:00am to 10:30pm) Monday through Sunday.  Anyone with a campus parking permit requiring later or overnight parking may only do so in accordance with the After Hours parking options.

Due to the demolition of the P9 parking garage, there will be an impact on parking on campus, including reduced Student Parking Permit availability for the 2024-2025 academic year.

Those students who are granted U-PASS waivers (OPT-OUT LINK) because they do not live within the OC Transpo bus service area will be eligible, with proof of waiver, to apply for a student parking permit for the 2024-2025 academic year. If you are interested in this option, you must apply by the end of day Aug. 9, 2024.

If you require a parking permit, please send a copy of your U-PASS Waiver confirmation letter to parking@carleton.ca requesting either an Annual or Fall Term student parking permit.  Permits will be allocated in P6 or P7 based on availability.

Please Note:  If you do not request an annual permit, you will have to provide a waiver again to request a winter permit.

Residence Students: You are guaranteed parking and do not need to provide proof of waiver.  You will need to contact Parking Services to obtain a Residence parking permit in the P18 Garage, starting Aug 15th at 9 a.m.

Annual (Sept.- Apr.) 2024-2025 and Fall Only (Sept.-Dec.) 2024 Student parking permits will go on sale to the general student population on Thursday, Aug. 15 at 9 a.m.
