All vehicles parked on university property must:
- Possess a valid university-issued parking permit (notes of explanations left in a vehicle will not be accepted in lieu of a parking permit and vehicles will be subject to parking enforcement provisions); or
- Possess an authorized visitor permit; or
- Be parked legally at a meter or in a pay and display lot.
Vehicles illegally parked in a “no parking” area, including roadways, fire routes, sidewalks, pedestrian walkways, and hatch-marked areas, are subject to an immediate tow. Please do not park in these areas at any time.
“Reserved by name/number” spaces are reserved 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Violators will be ticketed and/or towed.
Delinquent parking fines not resolved in a reasonable period of time, at the discretion of the university, may be referred to a collection agency.
If a vehicle needs repair or service and cannot leave campus it is the owner’s responsibility to immediately notify our office(during business hours) or Laurier Special Constable Service (after business hours) and arrange for the vehicle to be removed from campus or risk being ticketed, and/or towed at the owner’s expense.
Sleeping or maintaining residence in vehicles, trailers, tents or similar temporary accommodation is prohibited on campus.
Tailgating is not permitted on campus.
Note: Any vehicle may be towed at any time if it is improperly parked on any property owned or leased by the university.

Abandonment
