Flexible Day of the Week Permits

Flexible Permit Sale

Flexible permits for the winter term are SOLD OUT. Sign up for waitlists can be done through the parking portal.
 

Students will have the option to pick specific days of the week they require parking on campus. For example, if Tuesday and Thursdays are required for the term, you would purchase a Tuesday permit and a Thursday permit that would be valid only on those days from September 1st to December 31st. (Winter term flexible permits will be available in December).

Waitlists

If students are unable to obtain a parking pass or wish to be in a different lot than the one available, they may put themselves on up to 4 waitlists and order them by lot preference. Waitlists will not be available online until the lot is sold out.

To select waitlists, log into the parking portal using a UMNet ID. On the main page and there will be an area called Permits, click on "View your Waitlists" to add, prioritize, and delete waitlist requests. Once a spot becomes available, an email will be sent to the U of M email associated with the parking account. 

Permit Information Table

Overview

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2022 student parking permits will be available for purchase through the Parking Portal. Commuter and resident student parking permits will now be sold as a monthly auto renewable permit paid by credit card. Parking privileges are virtually assigned and verified using licence plate recognition software.

A maximum of four licence plates may be linked to a virtual student permit. It is the responsibility of the permit owner to ensure only one vehicle is parking using the permit at any given time. Residence students may only have one licence plate linked to their permit at one time. The vehicle linked must be a personal or family vehicle, not belonging to another student or staff.

Vehicles must be parked within the numbered stall structure of the lot (no parking beyond or between rows, in drive aisles, on grass or centered on or between posts.

Monthly Auto-Renewable Permits – NEW!

Monthly permits will start September 1st and renew automatically on the 2nd last day of the month in order to pay for the next month of parking. During purchase, ensure to select September 1st as the start date of the permit to avoid being overcharged. A credit card profile will be created using the credit card information entered at check out (do not uncheck the box to create a credit card profile or the permit will expire after 1 month and that spot will go to someone on the waitlist). September's payment will be due upon checkout. A total of 7 more payments of $75 each will be charged to the credit card on file. The permit will continue to renew monthly until the permit is cancelled by submitting a cancellation webform or until the last payment for April 2023. To cancel prior to April, cancellation must be submitted no less than 7 days prior to the end of month in order for cancellation to take effect for the upcoming month. No refunds will be processed for cancellations submitted mid-month. 

Confirmation of residence student status will be required in order to apply for a student residence permit. If you are a residence student and would like to purchase a commuter type permit, please contact our office.
