Parking

During the first week of classes, parking on campus is not ticketed. Daily parking passes can be purchased from stations in the main parking lot for $5, and hourly parking can be paid for at metered spots or through HotSpot (htps.ca). 4, 8, or 12 month parking passes will go on sale starting August 24th.  Parking passes will be required on campus.  Due to the pandemic we are moving all parking pass sales online.  Taking this step will eliminate line ups and in-person contact in order to help keep you safe and keep our staff safe as well.  Please visit the UNB Environmental Health, Safety and Security web page at the following address: https://www.unb.ca/saintjohn/security/parking.html and click on the “online form” at the bottom of the page to go to the online system.  You will need to confirm the details of your vehicle, so please have your vehicle plate number on hand before you start.  

For students the payment option will be through your U-Card account only, for information on how to put money in your account, please go to:  https://www.unb.ca/ucard/.  We will not be doing "pay on pick-up" this year on the Saint John campus.  You will be prompted to enter a local mailing address where you want us to mail the pass to you.  This is important so that there are fewer delays in receiving your pass, especially if your normal address is outside of New Brunswick.

Lockers

To claim a locker on campus, simply put your lock on any locker not already in use or designated for private use.
