Members of the university community can continue to park at no cost. Grenfell Campus and Marine Institute will issue permits, but will not charge for these.

Parking permits will still be required (at no cost) for the following parking areas on the St. John’s campus: lots 60, 30, 27, 1, 25, 28, 20, 13 and 4. Permits expiring on April 30, 2021 for these areas will be honoured until further notice. Permit holders do not need to request a new permit.

All other permit parking areas will not require a permit and members of the university community can park at no cost.

Campus Enforcement and Patrol will continue to enforce permit use in areas noted above that require permits and will enforce parking regulations for metered and pay-per-use lots, blue zones, fire lanes, and areas where parking is prohibited.

Parking Rate Increase

At the March 11, 2021 meeting of the Board of Regents, a parking permit rate increase equivalent to consumer price index (0.9%) was approved for St. John’s campus student, staff and faculty rates (excluding MUNFA), effective May 1, 2021. As per the MUNFA collective agreement, last year’s rates have been maintained for this group. There was no change to the Signal Hill Campus rates. Since parking permit renewals have been suspended until further notice, these rates will not come into effect until renewals begin and rates will be prorated.
