PLEASE NOTE *** Purchase of a general permit does not guarantee a spot. We sell more general permits than we have spots to allow for people who come and go from campus throughout the day. Refunds are available for general parking permits within 30 days of purchase.

In order to park legally on University property (Halifax or Agricultural Campus), vehicles must either display a valid permit, use a parking meter or show proof of pay and display where applicable.
