Winter Semester
Parking permits for the Winter semester – January to April – will be going on sale Thursday December 5th at 9:00am.
Parking services encourage you to purchase your permit promptly as parking permits are on a first come first serve basis and have traditionally sold out which causes a waitlist to accumulate.
Note that if you have an existing transponder your transponder will be attached automatically to your new winter semester permit, no need for you to come to the parking office it can all be done online.
If you do not have an existing transponder, you will be encouraged to pick up your transponder promptly after purchasing your permit online to secure your spot and avoid long wait times.
For further information please contact the parking office via email parking@mcmaster.ca
