Parking spots for residents are allocated on a first come, first serve basis. Here’s how it works:
- After accepting your residence offer, use the Online Service Centre to apply for a space in a Residence Lot operated by Student Housing and Community Services.
- If you secure a space in the Residence Lot you applied for, we’ll email your parking assignment, issue a parking pass when you move in, and add fees to your account monthly. Be sure to review parking policies in your Residence Contract.
- If there is no available space in your preferred lot, you’ll be assigned a space in the next closest Residence Lot and be notified by email.
- If the Residence Lot to which you are assigned does not meet your needs, apply for a space operated by UBC Parking.
