Purchase Academic Year Parking Permit

TWU Langley parking operates a Pay-By-License Plate system. All passes are virtual. There is no longer a requirement to display a parking decal. As such, it is mandatory that you provide accurate vehicle details with regards to the vehicle license plate number. Incomplete or incorrect details may void a permit and result in a violation ticket being issued.

Notes:

  • Permits may be obtained throughout the academic school year on a pro-rated basis.
  • Refunds are given for commuter and resident permits on a pro-rated basis. Refunds will be calculated from the date of the request being made and can not be back dated to an earlier date. All refunds will be made to student accounts. 
  • Your permit must match your student status (commuter or resident) - If your student status changes, please contact Parking Services.
  • Permits can be transferred to a different vehicle by the original purchaser.
  • Students with a yearly parking permit may park in any lot with the exception of Upper Mattson, Reimer Underground, and all Staff lots. 
  • If you are temporarily driving an alternate car (i.e. courtesy vehicle) stop at the Welcome Centre to receive a temporary pass.
  • You may not park in staff designated parking spots, ex. Robson Underground.

Parking for People with Disability 

Parking still needs to be purchased however priority parking is available in our parking lots.

Note: If you have a temporary disability/injury that merits special parking consideration, please obtain a temporary disabled permit upon submission of a physician’s certificate, at the Parking Services office (Welcome Centre).


Staff/Faculty Parking Passes

All Staff/Faculty must visit the Welcome Centre to obtain their parking decal and register their vehicle. Staff/Faculty must update any new or temporary vehicle information with Parking Services. Underground staff parking passes are available by request at the Welcome Centre. The cost is $30.00 a month ($15.00 each pay period).

Note: Staff/Faculty Parking Decals are not valid in the Upper Mattson and Reimer Underground lots. If Staff/Faculty wish to park in these lots a daily parking permit must be purchased at a parking kiosk.

Alumni Parking Passes

Effective October 1st, 2019, there will be a meaningful change to how the TWU Alumni FREE parking benefit is administered.  We have established a new “VALET” parking management system that will still provide TWU Alumni graduates with complimentary parking; however, each time you drive onto campus, you must attend at the Welcome Centre with your Alumni card or valid photo identification (i.e. your driver’s license).  Our security and parking staff will then input your license plate number into our parking management “VALET” system for the duration of your stay on campus. 

Your Alumni FREE Parking Pass is still valid for reasons such as visiting friends, shopping at TW Campus Store, going to the library, working out at the gym, attending a Spartan sporting event, volunteering on campus, and having lunch at our cafeteria. The TWU Alumni FREE parking benefit is also valid during Alumni special events held on campus. Please note that the TWU Alumni FREE parking benefit is not valid when attending campus for graduate or undergraduate level courses. It is also NOT transferable to family members or to friends, and is NOT valid for overnight or long-term parking.

Note: Alumni Parking Pass are valid in all parking lots with the exception of the Upper Mattson, Reimer Underground, and all Staff lots.
