Long-term parking

Parking at the University of Victoria is done by way of virtual permits, whether purchasing online or at one of the parking dispensers; you do not require a physical permit. Your licence plate is your permit and you will be required to enter it when when you purchase parking.

Please note the signage in all lots to ensure you are parking in an area that is valid with the permit you purchase. Areas marked reserved are for designated reserved permit holders only until 5 pm Monday to Friday.
