Fall 2026 Student Parking Permits
Western Student Parking Permits will be available to purchase on June 15, 2026.
There will be a limited number of Western Student Parking Permits. We encourage students to complete their purchase within the first few days of the permits going on sale.
When sold out of student permits a waitlist will start. We’ll reach out to students in the order they add themselves to this waitlist as permits become available.
Starting this year, no hangtag is required to use a student permit in a student parking lot – License plate recognition technology will be used to validate parking for permit holders.
If you have a hangtag for a student permit from the previous year and wish to return it to collect the $30 hangtag deposit, please visit our office is Room 4150 of the Support Services Building, during our operating hours of Monday through Friday from 8:30am until 4:00pm.

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 August 28, 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.
