Two license plates can be attached to your permit however only ONE vehicle can use the permit at a time. Should the second vehicle assigned to the permit need to attend campus at the same time, the second vehicle must park in a designated HONK lot where a HONK payment is required to validate parking.  For more information about permits click here.

When you purchased your permit through the Self-Serve Portal you entered your license plate. Your license plate is your virtual permit.  This means you no longer need to display a physical permit.

Brock Suites students who require parking may register their personal vehicle (one vehicle) with Parking Services. There is limited space designated for Brock Suites residents so permits are issued on a first-come first-served basis.

Brock Suites parking is subject to Parking Services Rules & Regulations.

Your Brock Suites parking permit is for your personal vehicle only and your permit may not be shared, sold or transferred. Doing so will result in fines, suspended parking privileges, and may result in further academic discipline.

If you have outstanding fines please log in to the self-serve portal to make payment.  If you have questions or concerns please contact us.

If you do not pay your violation within the 10-day period, your account is subject to additional fees and penalties. 

Students with excessive violations may have an academic seal placed on their student records and may be flagged to have their vehicle immobilized/towed. As a result, you will not be able to access your grades on your student portal. Note: outstanding fines may cause graduation diplomas to be withheld until fines have been paid. 

A parking boot is a device used to temporarily immobilize a vehicle.  The boot is clamped on to one of the vehicles wheels (usually the front driver’s side) and is locked in place preventing the vehicle from being driven and the wheel from being removed from the vehicle. 

After exhausting a comprehensive education and enforcement program with violators who are still in violation of rules & regulations, we immobilize (boot) the vehicle to keep costs down. Accounts with excessive fines and/or those vehicles who are not identified in our database maybe immobilized and/or towed. Placing a boot on a vehicle is less costly than towing. 

If you discover a boot has been placed on your vehicle it could be for one of a few reasons. 

• Your vehicle received multiple fines that remain unpaid 
• Your vehicle is parked illegally 
• Your vehicle is not identified in our database and is parked illegally or has unpaid fines 
• Other 

When a boot is attached to your vehicle’s tire, there are a number of precautions Parking Services take to ensure the driver is aware of the boot. 

• The boot will be placed on the driver’s side front tire
• A warning notice will be placed on the driver’s side window
• A ticket will be placed under the windshield on the driver’s side
• Caution tape will be added from the boot to your driver’s side mirror to advise against entering the vehicle while immobilized
• Together, these will alert you your vehicle has been immobilized. Any attempt to remove the boot, drive with the boot on, or  enter the vehicle, can cause notable damage to your vehicle that Brock is not liable for.

If you discover that your vehicle has been booted, DO NOT enter or attempt to move your vehicle. Any such attempt can result in notable vehicle damage that Brock cannot be held liable for, and additional fines will be administered for. 

Call or attend Parking Services during our business hours posted online.  Please visit the Parking Services website for more information about how to Contact Us. 

Parking Services and Brock University is not responsible for any damage caused to your vehicle should you attempt to move your vehicle or attempt to remove the boot from the tire.  Attempting to move your vehicle with the boot attached will cause damage to your vehicle and the immobilization device. Any tampering or damage to the boot may be subject to additional fines and/or further charges. 

When a vehicle is booted, a ticket will be issued for the infraction associated with the violation.  Additionally, a Boot Application Fee will be applied to the account.  Any attempted tampering or driving will result in a Tampering Fee, and any damage will also result in a Boot Replacement Fee. 

Trained Parking Services Enforcement staff are authorized to use the boot as a parking enforcement option.  If a vehicle is parked in such a way that prevents a boot from being installed, the vehicle may be towed instead. 

Avoiding tickets, fees and fines is easy! Simply follow the parking rules and regulations and pay for parking.  If you have received ticket(s) that remains unpaid, sign into the online self-serve portal to register your vehicle and ensure your account information is up to date.  Parking Rules and Regulations can be viewed online.  

Parking Services may tow any vehicle with excessive fines, or vehicles which are parked in a way that is in violation of the parking Rules and Regulations, even if you have paid for parking at the time.   

Vehicles that are towed off campus, are relocated to: 

S&W Towing 

59 Carlton Street

St. Catharines, ON 

L2R 1P9 

905-935-9971 

 If your vehicle was towed to S&W Towing the fees payable directly to S&W are as follows: 

• Tow fee 
• After 48 hours, a per day storage fee will be added 

• If you are picking up the vehicle after 9:00pm, a gate opening fee will be charged 

Please note, these fees are payable to S&W Towing at the time of retrieving your vehicle. These are separate to any fees outstanding and owing to Brock University Parking Services.  

Parking Services will work with you to make a manageable payment plan to address your outstanding account balance with Parking Services. All fees owed to S&W Towing for the towing of your vehicle are due when attending to pick up your vehicle.

If enrolled in a payment plan, it is your responsibility to contact Parking Services and request and extension if you are unable to make a payment on time. Defaulting your payment plan will suspend your parking privileges.

S&W Towing is only responsible for collecting the fees owed and associated to them. S&W Towing will not collect outstanding fines owed to Brock University Parking Services. 

Should you fail to complete your payment plan, miss a payment without letting Parking Services know, or your vehicle is found to be in violation of the parking Rules and Regulations  rules and regulations (ie. not paying for parking), your vehicle while be ticketed and/or immobilized and/or towed at your own risk and expense.  Your payment plan will become null and void and your account will need to be paid in full before your vehicle will be eligible to be parked on campus.  

When you attend Parking Services to complete a vehicle relocation form, a Parking Ambassador will provide you with the address and bus route to S&W Towing.  Alternatively, there are taxi services and Uber that may be an option.
