30 minute complimentary parking is an option on all pay stations. Your vehicle license plate must be registered for valid parking. You don't need to display the parking receipt in your vehicle. The integrated parking system sends your license plate number and parking information to our parking enforcement officers.

How do the pay stations work?

Pay stations are easy to use:

  • Park your vehicle in a Mount Royal University parking lot.
  • Visit the nearest pay station and follow the prompts:
    • Select or enter the zone number for the parking lot
    • Enter your license plate number
    • Select the amount of time you'd like to park
    • Pay with your credit card, or coins (no change is provided)
  • Your license plate number is proof of payment. No need to display the receipt on your dashboard.
  • You're on your way!

USE THE HOTSPOT APP

Download the HotSpot app

  • Download the HotSpot app from the App Store or Google Play Store.

  • Follow the prompts to set up your own personal account.

  • Add money to your virtual HotSpot wallet.

  • Enter the zone number indicated on signs in the parking lot or in the chart above.

  • Select how much time you will be parked for. If you select a time longer than 5 hour, your parking sessions will automatically be set to expire at the end of the day.

  • Parking payments will be automatically deducted from your HotSpot virtual wallet.

  • Optional: When returning to your vehicle, you can select ‘Refund Session.' This will refund any remaining money back to your HotSpot wallet balance for unused parking time. This can only be done through a HotSpot account, and does not apply to QR Code payments or pay station parking sessions.

It is recommended that you set up a HotSpot account prior to arriving on campus
