Parking Lottery 2024/25
Due to high demand, premium and reserved long-term permits for Kamloops campus parking are allocated through a lottery system. The lottery for premium permits for the 2024/25 year (effective Sept. 1) will open on Monday, June 24. The lottery for reserved permits will open on Monday, July 15.
The premium lottery runs June 24 to July 19. For 2024/25, the premium lots are C, V1 and T2. Recipients of premium permits will be notified by email from the Parking Office starting Monday, July 22 and will have 3 weeks (including weekends) to purchase the permit.
The reserved lottery runs July 15 to Aug. 9. For 2024/25, the reserved lots available for the lottery are A3, EC, and K. Recipients of reserved permits will be notified by email from the Parking Office starting Monday, Aug. 12 and will have 7 days (including weekends) to purchase the permit.
Please note: If you have applied to both the premium and reserved lotteries, and are offered a premium permit, purchasing that permit will automatically remove your name from the reserved lottery.
How to enter the lottery
When the lottery is live, log into tru.concordparking.com using your TRU credentials. Select your desired permit (by lot) for premium or reserved. Enter your vehicle information and name if this is the first time you are applying for a permit. This will create your parking account. You will be entered into the lottery for the selected permit. Repeat if interested in other lots.
Payment options (credit card or payroll deduction) are selected when you are accepting a permit offer after the lottery concludes. Payment is by credit card on the date you click accept, or by payroll deduction beginning on the effective date of your permit, Sept. 1, 2024.
Note: you are not eligible to win more than once for the same lottery. If you are offered a premium permit and decline it, your remaining options are to enter the reserved lottery or to purchase a general or economy permit. Fall semester general and economy permit sales will open Aug. 5.
Wait list
The Premium wait list opens 9am Wednesday, August 14th, and Reserved wait list opens Wednesday, August 28th.
Anyone who missed the lottery or was not successful in getting a premium or reserved permit can apply to be on a wait list if permits become available.
Any declined, cancelled or unsold premium or reserved permits will be allotted automatically to wait list applicants on a first-come, first-served basis, starting on a date yet to be determined, and continuing into fall semester.
Recipients from the wait list will have 7 days to accept or decline the permit offered before it is offered to the next person on the list. Look for future communications about the wait list in July and August.
