If you require accessible parking, a parking permit can be purchased from Nanaimo Disability Resource Center, #2 - 4166 Departure Bay Road, Nanaimo (unless you already have a valid pass from a different municipality). You may purchase a permit for about $25. There is a form that must be completed by your doctor. On campus, accessible permits must be displayed on the windshield rear-view mirror. You should park in designated accessible parking spots. However, if one is not available, you can park in general, staff, or metered lots (provided your permit is displayed on your mirror).
If you require a temporary parking pass while your NDRC pass is being processed, please contact accessibilityservices@viu.ca.
