Parking 

Students who have their vehicles registered with the college are welcome to park on Columbia’s campus. Students should ensure that their parking pass is displayed, that they are parked in the correct designated area, and that they have valid insurance to avoid a fine or towing at the owner’s expense.  

Students are encouraged to ensure all valuables are removed from their cars, and to consider using an anti-theft device. 

Academic Year Permits are valid from September 1st to April 30th of each academic year.  

Students need to register their vehicle on via the Parking Permit Application form found on myCBC before coming to the Front Reception Office to purchase and pick up a parking pass. Passes may be purchased at any point in the academic year at a prorated rate. If for any reason you decide to no longer park on campus, you may return your parking pass to the Front Reception Office to receive a refund on a prorated basis. Students are permitted to park in the parking lot on the west side of the Student Centre with the exception of the reserved spots designated for visitors. Parking in reserved or visitor spots may be fined.  

Camping, overnight sleeping or residing in or under any parked vehicle on College property, including the construction of temporary or permanent shelters is strictly prohibited.
