Processing for both student and employee permits online will take 4-5 days. If you don’t have your permit for September 1, don’t worry – permits for 2011/12 will be recognized for the first couple of weeks in September, or you can print off your online confirmation email and place it on your vehicle’s dashboard.

Reserved passes

Those with reserved spots or passes will have the opportunity to renew their permit, online or in person, starting Monday. The parking office will be emailing current pass holders on Friday with further details.

Ride Share

A quick reminder about Dalhousie’s Ride Share program, which offers a reserved parking space to students or employees who commit to sharing a vehicle. This year, we are changing our policy so that a vehicle only requires a minimum of two (rather than three) full-time students or employees, each of whom must be eligible to purchase a parking pass. The applicants also cannot reside at the same residential address.

If you have questions about the Ride Share program, or wish to sign up, please call our office at 494-6400 or drop into the McCain parkade.
