Application Process
Eligibility
- You must have a valid NSID number to complete the application in PAWS.
- You must be registered in at least one USask class or at an affiliated college by the application deadline.
- Only one permit per student number.
Application
- Applications are accepted from May 1, 2024 - August 23, 2024 at 10:00 am. During that period, applications may be changed or withdrawn at any time.
- Choose only those lots which you are prepared to accept and list your choices in order of preference.
- Once you have been allocated a student permit in a lot you chose in the sale there will be no option to change to another lot at any time.
Purchasing your Permit
- After the sale you may pay for the permit either online through the Parking Sale channel on PAWS or in person at our office during the pickup window listed above.
- Permits purchased online can be picked up at our office (in-person pickup only). Paid permits will be held for pickup indefinitely.
- A valid student card or current photo ID is required to pickup your permit.
- If you would like someone else to pick up your permit on your behalf, you must email Parking Services from your Usask email address giving that permission to pick the permit up on your behalf. Please also include your student number in the email.
Commuting Students from Outside the City Limits
You must apply for a permit through the Parking Sale. If you are not allocated a permit in the Student Parking Sale you may come to Parking and Transportation Services between August 26, 2024 and September 6, 2024 to apply for a stall in Lot 20 or Stadium Parkade. You will be required to provide proof of your out-of-town address (Government-issued ID or a piece of mail in your name). This is on a first-come, first-served basis, as there are a limited number of permits.
Upgrade List
Students who paid the $20.00 application fee and entered the Parking Sale and were not allocated a parking permit in a lot of their choice will be allocated a stall in Lot 20, as space allows. They will automatically be added to an upgrade list. Any permits released by or returned to Parking and Transportation Services will be offered to those on the upgrade list throughout the year.
In the 2022-2023 academic year over 400 students were offered a parking lot upgrade through this process.
Waiting List
Students who paid the $20.00 application fee and entered the Parking Sale and were not allocated a parking permit will automatically be added to a waiting list. Students on the waiting list will be contacted via their USask email address if permits become available for them.
Ready to apply?
A $20.00 non-refundable application fee will be charged for all applications. If you wish to withdraw your application at any time, the fee still applies.
