Employee Parking Permit Unification
As of September 1, 2026, employee permits can now access all non-reserved permit lots.
There is no longer a distinction between grey (perimeter) and orange (core) non-reserved parking privileges. The costs for these permits are now identical, and any valid employee permit can safely park in any non-reserved permit lot without running the risk of a citation.
This means that the following lots have opened up to all valid employee parking permits:
- Talbot (Lot F)
- Middlesex (Lot G)
- Lambton (Lot L)
- Visual Arts (Lot Y)
- I have a grey (perimeter non-reserved) permit. Can I now park in an orange lot?
There is no special distinction between Grey and Orange permits. You may park in any non-reserved spots in the employee lots.
- I have an orange (core non-reserved) permit. Can I now park in a grey lot?
While you always could have parked in any non-reserved spot in the grey lots, there is no special distinction between Grey and Orange permits. You may park in any non-reserved spots in the employee lots.
- I have a reserved permit. Does this affect me?
No, your reserved permit still grants reserved parking privileges in your designated lot.
- What if the lot I like to park in is full?
Non-reserved spots remain available on a “first come first served basis”. If other parkers have filled a non-reserved lot, you will want to proceed to the next available non-reserved employee lot.
- Can I park in a spot that’s signed as reserved with a non-reserve permit?
No, these signed parking stalls are reserved for specific permit holders.
- I would like to get an employee reserved permit. How does that work?
We’re running waitlists for reserved permits. To be added to a list for a reserved permit, please email us at wparking@uwo.ca. Please let us know specifically which lot you would like a reserved spot for. You may also let us know of multiple lots that you might be considering.
- Do I still need my parking hangtag?
Yes, if you’re parking in our remaining gated lots.
No, if you’re parking in un-gated lots. Your license plate works to validate your active parking permit.
This is also a great time to remind all parkers to update their license plate information on their parking accounts. Without correct license plate information vehicles could be subject to ticketing.

Service Interruption - Alumni Thompson Bike Shelter
Access to the Alumni Thompson Bike Shelter will be temporarily closed due to a construction project taking place in the Alumni Thompson visitor parking lot from April 20, 2026 to November 1, 2026. More information on this service interruption can be found at the following link.
If you store your bicycle in this bike shelter, please make sure that your bicycle has been removed before April 20, 2026. Any remaining bicycles found in the shelter on April 20, 2026 will be sent to the Western Campus Safety's lost and found.
Western Parking Services is working with our campus colleagues to come up with alternative solutions for accessing the bike shelter during this project. Should such a solution be found we will send an update.
If you would like to learn more about what other options are available for securing a bike on campus please contact us, wparking@uwo.ca, and we can help with possible alternative solutions.
