People With Disabilities
Designated parking spots for persons with disabilities are located in parking areas within College grounds. Only vehicles displaying a valid Ontario Ministry of Transportation Disabled Parking Permit may park in these designated areas. Drivers of these vehicles are subject to the same rules and regulations and pay the same fees as all others parking on campus. Individuals being dropped off or picked up and not using parking facilities are asked to make arrangements through their program office for exit at no cost to the drop of or pick up vehicle. College Security and Municipal By-Law Officers will issue tickets and/or tow with respect to abuses of designated parking spaces on campus.
Parking Violations and Enforcement
Parking lots at the College are private property. Parking a vehicle on campus constitutes an agreement on the part of the motorists to abide by the rules and regulations approved for the College community.
Violation notices are issued for a number of infractions that contravene these rules and regulations. Violation rates charged are comparable to municipal charges for a similar offense. All violations are issued in accordance with the Trespass to Property Act. Failure to honour accounts may result in loss of parking privileges, towing of vehicles, issuance of a Trespass Notice banning the offender’s vehicle from campus or sealing of academic records or any combination thereof.

Appeals
The College has a parking committee, which establishes College rules and regulations, and deals with appeals related to parking violations. Traffic or parking violation tickets are appealed by submitting a completed Parking Violation Appeal Form available at the Parking Sales Counter. Forms are to be returned to either security or the Parking Sales Counter for subsequent consideration by the Campus Parking Appeals Committee.
Paying Your Fines
Fines must be paid within 14 days of ticket being issued. Failure to pay will result in academic records being sealed, parking privileges being revoked and vehicles being towed if found on campus. Prompt payment, within 24hrs, of fines will result in a 50% reduction in the penalty in most cases.
Special Circumstances
Any requests for temporary permission to leave vehicles in a parking lot overnight should be directed to Campus Security, in advance. Arrangements made in this manner will avert expensive parking fines or towing charges.
