Parking Enforcement
Campus Safety Officers and Parking Enforcement Officers are responsible for enforcing the Carleton University Parking and Traffic Regulations. All enforcement personnel are designated as private property officers and as such are duly authorized to issue parking tickets/fines on campus.
There are no “free parking” areas on campus. Any vehicle not displaying a valid parking permit (permit parking areas), parked in an unauthorized or prohibited area, or otherwise failing to provide proof of payment (visitor parking areas) may be issued a parking offence notice.
Permit and visitor parking areas on the University campus are
enforced Monday to Friday, from 7:00 am. to 10:30 pm. There is no charge for parking in University visitor lots on weekends. Parking is permitted in designated spaces only. No stopping is permitted within these parking areas at anytime. Permit holders must pay for parking when parked at meters or in Pay & Display parking areas. A maximum four (4) hour parking restriction (time limit) is enforced in Lot P1 (Southam Hall), Lot P2 (Unicentre), on-street parking locations, and at any other location where parking meters are present on campus. Daily maximum, full-day, parking is available in the following Pay & Display lots: P6, P7, P9, P10, and P14. All parking rates charged at parking meters and Pay & Display machines include GST and PST.
Parking Services endeavors to tend to all failed meters, Pay & Display machines, and access gates promptly. Should you encounter any problems using this equipment, please contact the Parking Services Office at 613 520-3623 or by email at
parking@carleton.ca.
All users of parking facilities owned/operated by Carleton University must adhere to campus parking signage/directives and are subject to penalties if found in violation of University Parking and Traffic Regulations.
