General Parking Information
Parking applications are mailed with your letter of acceptance, or are available at the Residence Office. Parking spaces are assigned prior to move-in. When you check in you will be assigned a numbered parking stall.
There is a limited number of parking stalls available so it is important that applications be completed as quickly as possible. Parking stalls are assigned on a first paid, first served basis as long as you have the required information:
- Vehicle Colour
- Model
- Year
- License Plate #
Please ensure that you park between the lines of your assigned stall. It is also important for you to park as straight as possible to make room for the people parking next to you.
All Residence parking stalls are equipped with plug-ins. The plug-ins are controlled by a computer and the electricity is on for twenty minutes, then off for twenty minutes, when it is -10 degrees Celsius or colder. Do not plug in a block heater and an in-car heater at the same time, as it will trip the breaker.

Parking Enforcement
A valid Residence parking permit entitles you to park in your assigned, numbered stall only. Vehicles must display their parking permit, ensuring it is visible to patrolling Security. Residents may not apply for parking for vehicles that belong to other RDC students or non-students.
Visitors must park in metered stalls. The meters are set for a maximum of 45 minutes for $1.50 from 8am to 4pm , Monday to Friday. After 4pm, and on weekends, visitors can park around the grassy islands by the Rowhouses and in the metered stalls for free.
When you are not in your assigned parking stall and the Residence Office and/or the Security staff have not been informed, you will be ticketed.
It is illegal to:
- Park in a stall not assigned to you
- Park in an area posted "No Parking"
- Park in a disabled parking spot
- Park straddling the lines
- Park by a fire hydrant
- Park in a fire lane
