Residence Parking

Space Allocation

Residence parking spots are allocated on a first come first serve basis.

There are always more applications than spaces at some of the residences. Residents may be allocated to a parking space in the lot of the residence to which they are assigned, or to another residence parking lot. If we are unable to offer you a space in any residence parking lot, we will try to provide you with as much notice as possible.

Residence parking assignments for winter session parking will be emailed in August.

UBC Parking Services offers parking applications online for other campus parkades and surface lots. More information can be found on their website. UBC Parking Services operates a majority of the parking areas on campus including: L-lot near Place Vanier, Rits-Lot near Ritsumeikan-UBC House, Marine Drive Lot and the West Parkade near Marine Drive Residence.

Terms & Conditions

Please review the Residence Contract section entitled "Transportation and Parking."

Parking in the reserved lots is only allocated for the residence term (September to April) except for year-round residences.

Parking spaces are allocated for one registered vehicle only for which the student must be listed as the primary driver. Residents cannot use their allocated parking space for a second vehicle, or parking for friends or visitors. Any unregistered vehicles may, without notice, be towed at the owner's expense. Residents attempting to transfer their allocated parking space will have their assignment cancelled and will forfeit their parking fees.

Parking for summer session and winter session are separate. Please apply for each individually. more info...
