Authorized Parking Lots

To alleviate the loss of parking spaces while the Science Hall Parking Ramp is being razed and replaced with a surface lot, the college has developed a parking plan for the fall 2022 and spring 2023 semesters, which prioritizes the need for students and faculty to have access to the parking closest to campus.  Specific parking lots are now designated for resident students (C Permits), commuter students (D Permits), and faculty and staff (A and B Permits).  More information about these modifications can be found here and by viewing the campus map.

Student Parking Regulations

Only vehicles that display a Canisius College parking permit are entitled to park in campus lots. Permits are needed 24 hours a day, year round. Possession of a parking permit entitles the registrant to park only if there is available space in the parking area for which the permit is valid. Although the college does not guarantee a parking space, there are an ample number of spaces available daily. During certain special events or occasions, parking restrictions will be regulated by the Department of Public Safety. Registrants should always lock their doors and take steps to safeguard the vehicle and contents. Canisius College shall be exempt from any and all liability for any damage, theft or injury to property and persons.

Visitor Parking

Students having guests on campus should ensure that their guests are parked in an appropriate parking spot by contacting the Department of Public Safety at the time of the visit and by following parking directions given by the Department of Public Safety at that time.

Each Canisius College parking area is conspicuously posted with signs that indicate restrictions for that area.
All vehicles must be parked between marked parallel lines. Parking is prohibited in all driveways and entrances to all parking lots. No person shall park a vehicle on the premises of the college in such a manner as to interfere with the use of a fire hydrant, fire lane or other emergency zone, create any other hazard or unreasonably interfere with the use of a roadway or pedestrian way.
Motorcycles, mopeds, motor scooters and motor bicycles are not permitted to park on sidewalks, under building overhangs, inside courtyards or in buildings or interfere with pedestrian traffic.

Use of all lots is restricted to properly registered vehicles. Violators will be issued city of Buffalo parking summonses. Once issued, these summonses cannot be voided by the Department of Public Safety. All business must be conducted with the City of Buffalo Parking Violations Bureau. Parking on the city street is regulated by the City of Buffalo Police and Parking Violations Bureau.

Illegally-parked vehicles, those creating a hazard and abandoned vehicles are subject to towing and impoundment at the owner’s expense. Canisius College shall be exempt from any and all liability for any damage to the vehicle.

The operation of a motor vehicle on the campus of Canisius College is a privilege granted by this institution. Serious or excessive traffic violations may result in the loss of this privilege.

Hang Tag Permit Procedures

Members of the college community who do not exhibit their legal permit in the proper location will receive a parking summons. Your tag must hang from the back of the interior rear-view mirror. No other location will be accepted.
Please use the lots assigned to your permit. If parking is unavailable or an emergency situation arises, the Department of Public Safety should be immediately notified as to your vehicle’s whereabouts.

Forgotten Tags

If upon your arrival on campus, you discover that your hang tag is not in the vehicle (e.g., you cleaned your car out and forgot to return the hang tag to its proper place in the vehicle), you can immediately contact the Department of Public Safety at ext. 2330 and advise them of the situation.

Lost or Stolen Permits

Lost or stolen permits should be reported to the Department of Public Safety when the loss or theft is discovered. Any vehicle that displays a lost, stolen, forged or altered permit will be issued a summons. In addition, the owner or operator of the vehicle may be subject to college and/or criminal sanctions.
