At UBC, parking for both campus and residence parking spaces is operated by UBC Parking.
Most parking lots and parkades are open to students, faculty, staff and campus visitors. However, some residence areas have a limited number of parking spaces available just for residents.

FAQs
If I already have a residence parking permit, do I need to re-apply?
Residents with ongoing permits: Students with Year Round Housing contracts who already hold a permit for a residence parking space do not need to add their name to a waitlist each year. They are automatically offered a permit renewal.
Residents with winter permits: Winter Session parking permits expire at the end of April each year; to apply for a residence parking permit for the following session, students need to join a new waitlist.
