September 2023 Parking Updates
We’re excited to see more people back on campus for the new September term, however, please be aware of traffic congestion and delays that may impact you. The following information is to help you navigate anticipated high traffic volumes during the first few weeks of classes and upcoming construction activity on the Burnaby campus.
First Weeks of Classes
We are expecting there to be a high level of parking and traffic congestion during the first few weeks of classes. ‘Lot full’ scenarios in the parking lots may be in effect as people settle into their new schedules.
We will have additional staff on hand to provide information during the first few weeks of the semester. Please follow the directions of parking/traffic ambassadors and give yourself additional time to travel to/from campus.
Outdoor Permit Holders:
1. If you arrive after 9:30 a.m., North Lot may be full. It may be best to proceed directly to East Lot or South Lot.
2. If you arrive after 11:00 a.m., both North Lot and East Lot may be full. It may be best to proceed directly to South Lot.
Your Outdoor Permit is valid in all three of North, East and South Lots.
