How to Purchase a Parking Permit
Parking Permits are available to ALL community members on a first come, first serve basis. Parking Services encourages early purchases for the availability of space and to avoid any line ups. Please ensure you have fully completed an application form. Incomplete applications will result in delays.
Please Note: Garages and Reserved Parking Lots are not available unless you are renewing the same permit that expired at the end of the 2013 Winter term. If you would like to place your name on the waiting list, e-mail parking@yorku.ca with your name, address, phone number and lot choice.
There are a limited number of Reserved & Garage spaces that can be purchased by all community members for the Summer months only but are not renewable for the Academic year. For availability please inquire at Parking Services, e-mail parking@yorku.ca or call the office at 416-736-5335. Monthly Summer Reserved/Garage permits are not available to purchase on-line.
