-
If you forget your pass you should immediately obtain a temporary pass from Parking Services to avoid receiving a Parking Infraction Notice.
-
The College is the only legitimate distributor of parking permits on any Algonquin College campus. Any permit purchased from any other source is invalid. A vehicle displaying an alternate permit will be immediately ticketed and towed.

Permits
-
No vehicle shall be parked on College property without a valid parking permit clearly displayed. It is essential that the permit be in its proper place, as failure to do so will invalidate the permit.
-
Hang tag permits shall hang on the rearview mirror facing outwards, or may be placed on the driver’s side dash with the permit in full view at all times.
-
Motorcycle stickers may be placed on the windscreen, front forks, or the gas tank.
-
Pay and Display permits must be on the driver’s side dash, face up and clearly visible at all times.
-
A $25 dollar fee will be charged to replace a lost or stolen permit. Your receipt is required to obtain a replacement. Once the permit has been declared lost or stolen, it becomes invalid. Any vehicle found using such a permit will be ticketed and/or towed. The College cannot issue a refund if the permit is recovered. You may obtain a temporary pass from Parking Services.
-
The purchase of a parking permit does not guarantee that a space is available in the lot designated by your permit color. You may occupy a space in another lot of lower value provided there are no spaces in the lot designated by your permit number (e.g. Lot 8 permit in Lot 9). A higher priced permit can always be used to occupy a lower priced lot space should space in your designated lot not be available.
The parking of a vehicle on campus is a privilege governed by the Algonquin College parking regulations. Information concerning any of these regulations may be obtained from Parking Services, 727-4723 ext. 7187 or by email from parking@algonquincollege.com
