I incurred a violation. What do I do?

To pay the fine, insert the ticket and payment back into the yellow violation envelope and mail to the Parking & Transportation Resources Office. Payments can be made, in person, at the Business Office or the Parking & Information Kiosk. Please make cheques payable to “Wilfrid Laurier University”.

If you feel that your situation warrants an appeal, you can obtain an appeal form from the Parking & Information Kiosk or the Parking Services Office directly, or online under Appeals. The appeal must be filed within seven (7) business days of receipt of the ticket.

To avoid receiving future violations, you are more than welcome to contact the Parking & Transportation Resources Office at ext. 3032 (8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m., Monday-Friday) to discuss the rules and regulations for parking vehicles on campus.

Why is parking such a problem at Laurier and why isn’t anything being done about it?

A number of initiatives have been implemented through various lease agreements with community members in order to increase the parking available at Laurier. The Parking & Information Kiosk was established in September of 2001 and continues to provide the Laurier community and visitors with maps, directions, and general information. Parking patrollers are prominent figures on campus. They circulate throughout campus issuing tickets to those in violation of the parking regulations, ensuring that parking equipment is fully operational, and providing directions to available parking lots. Their diligence helps to cut down on the number of offending vehicles. We also have both a Parking Advisory Committee and a Parking Appeals Committee that continue to work towards improving Parking & Transportation Resources. The Parking Advisory Committee examines the current parking operations and considers new initiatives to improve them. The Parking Appeals Committee meets regularly to aid in making decisions regarding the appeals that have been filed.

I have safety concerns when walking back to my vehicle at night. What should I do?

Never walk alone at night! Be sure to take well-lit, well-travelled routes.
