An important reminder that at peak times – especially during the first weeks of term – our campuses experience a high volume of vehicles, which can cause brief delays or shortages of spots in campus lots. Students, visitors and staff are reminded to allow extra time when travelling to campus so that so they may have ample time to find a parking spot.
To deal with increased volume, overflow lots are available at each campus. At the Niagara-on-the-Lake Campus, overflow parking is adjacent to the campus on the northeast side (near the Niagara Corporate Business Centre), and is easily accessible directly from campus – “overflow parking” signs are posted and regular permit parking is enforced. At the Welland Campus, Lots D4 (the former contractor lot) and E3 (near the Rice Road entrance) have recently been expanded and paved to offer more parking spots. Please consult the campus maps available online
Parking attendants are available at each campus, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, to provide assistance. For those who need assistance, they may be reached during be reached at:
NOTL Campus (289) 213-4953
Welland Campus (289) 213-4500
Students are also reminded of the options that exist for travel to our campuses. Carpooling is encouraged, and all students receive a U-Pass that can be used with any public transit provider in Niagara.
Can I park at the Outlet Collection at Niagara mall for free?
No. Parking at the Outlets Collection at Niagara is for customers only, and is strictly enforced.
What if I can’t find a parking spot?
During some peak times throughout the day, there may be brief shortages. Important things to remember:
A permit does not guarantee parking in a specific lot, and some lots may fill faster than others. During peak times you may not find a spot in your preferred lot.
As indicated in the terms and conditions for permit holders, a permit does not guarantee a parking spot. On-campus parking is on a first-come, first-served basis. Allow the appropriate amount of time to park.
Please call the parking attendant if you are having trouble finding parking.
What alternatives are there to on-campus parking?
Other options to consider include carpooling and public transit. Students receive a U-Pass as part of their registration, which can be used with any public transit provider (learn more). Students at the Welland Campus can park at the Seaway Mall, 800 Niagara St., and take a Welland Transit bus directly to campus.
