Now that the Winter season has arrived, our Parking Services team has some helpful campus parking tips.

• Take your time in the parking lots and try to park as straight as possible.
• Please be careful not to triple park – it can be challenging to see the difference between rows of cars in snowy weather.
• During heavy snowfalls, our Parking Services team can be found in the parking lots offering assistance, or you can call us directly at 613-727-4723 Ext. 7187.
• Overnight parking is only permitted in the Visitor’s Lot and Lot 11 (Residence). If you anticipate having to leave your car overnight, please contact Parking Services at 613.727.4723. x 7187.
• Overnight parking is not permitted in Lots 1, 8, 9, 10 and 12.

All efforts will be made to clear the parking lots in a timely manner, however, depending on the timing of a snowfall, this may not always be possible. After heavy snowfalls, you may see piles of snow stacked in the parking lots; this is a temporary measure as our contractor works to collect and remove all the snow as quickly and safely as possible.

Additional Winter Driving Tips

❄️ Check weather reports before leaving the house and adjust driving behaviour to meet conditions.
❄️ Allow extra travel time
❄️ Have winter tires installed on your vehicle
❄️ Keep a snow brush in the car and completely clear all snow before driving
❄️ Clear snow and turn on your headlights, even during the day

Drive Safe!

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.
