Appeals, also called screening reviews, for parking tickets issued on the Ottawa Campus can now be made online through the City of Ottawa website. Making an appeal is easy – simply visit the City of Ottawa website and follow the prompts on the screen.

Although tickets can be reviewed by the City, the Parking Services Team would prefer NOT to issue any tickets in the first place. The 4 tips below will help you miss that ticket on campus.

1. Ensure you have entered your vehicle details, especially your licence plate, correctly
Incorrect licence plates entered into our system is a major reason tickets are issued because if we do not share the correct plate, we cannot confirm your payment.

Please double-check in Honk Mobile when purchasing hourly and daily rates before you confirm your payment. If you have trouble remembering your licence plate, take a photo to refer to when purchasing parking to verify accuracy.

If you are a monthly or annual permit holder, please login to https://parkingservices.algonquincollege.com/ and click on “Vehicles” to review and make sure your plates are accurate and up-to-date.

2. Ensure you are parking in the correct lot
Whether you have an annual permit, MultiPacks, daily rates, or monthly permits, all parking payment is assigned to a designated lot. Please park in the lot you have purchased for and miss that ticket completely. Check out our Algonquin College Parking Map to help find your spot.

3. Purchase a permit for the correct timeframe
Errors when purchasing parking for daily rates or monthly passes can still lead to receiving tickets. Double-check the timeframe you have purchased to ensure accuracy. If you are using the HonkMobile app, you can add additional time directly from your phone.

4. Have two cars? Add an extra vehicle to your permit at no additional cost You can add another vehicle to your existing permit through the parking portal at no extra cost. This feature is great for those with multiple cars and may not always bring the same vehicle to campus. If both vehicles are present on campus at the same time, however, you will need to purchase an additional daily rate for the second vehicle.

During the week of April 15, Algonquin College Parking Services is completing parking lot upgrades in the Visitor Lot (Lot 7) and Lot 4.

Part of these upgrades is to install new parking gates, with increased security, that allow for payments by credit, debit, access card, and guest pass. Cash payments will no longer be accepted in this lot, but informed by customer feedback, the option to pay with debit has been added. Visitors paying by debit or credit will have the option to pay by inserting their card and entering a pin or tapping with their card or mobile device.

For those who have purchased Visitor Lot guest passes to be used by guests to the College, you would have already received an email with instructions on how to replace those passes as old passes will stop working on April 22, 2024. If you did not receive an email, please complete this form and our team will be in touch to replace your passes.

During this time of transition, our team will be monitoring activity in the lot and will be assisting customers should they experience difficulties.
