You can purchase parking at 鲍鱼tv through a new HotSpot web portal:聽

You will need to authenticate with your 鲍鱼tv University NetID and password聽and you will need to know your license plate number.聽This ensures that only active 鲍鱼tv University accounts are permitted to purchase parking. Rates are available here:聽/dept/facilities/parking-at-dal/rates.html

New for this year 鈥� no more physical permits or hangtags. 鲍鱼tv Parking Services will scan the license plate of your parked vehicle into a mobile device to validate your virtual permit. Customers who opt to pay with a credit card or payroll deduction can do so online. You can drop off a cheque at the Security House at 1252 LeMarchant Street.

Members of the 鲍鱼tv community at the Agricultural Campus in Bible Hill will not be required to register vehicles for parking at that campus. If required to travel to Halifax campuses, they will need to purchase short-term parking options using parking meters or through the HotSpot App.

Here are answers to a few key questions about the registration process:

Receipts:聽Once purchased, the user should be able to have a receipt e-mailed out. This feature is not working right now, but we hope to have it remedied soon with HotSpot. A reminder that there is no need to place a receipt on your dash this year as the virtual permits replace the need for paper or physical hangtags.聽

NetIDs:聽NetIDs typically look like this: ac123456. However, they used to include a combination of letters from first and last name. These old netIDs may have trouble authenticating and showing permits, so please contact HotSpot to have yours manually adjusted:聽support@htsp.ca聽or 1-855-712-5888

Can鈥檛 select a permit?聽Check the 鈥淚ssue Date鈥� because these virtual permits don't start until Sept 1, so be sure to select "future" date to see your available permits as none will show if you select "today."

Vehicle information:聽This new system was not preloaded with existing vehicle information, so first-time users will need to enter vehicle information in order to buy a permit. Once you've added your vehicle(s) and select a default one, click on "purchase a permit." Adding a vehicle is a must before purchasing. Yes, you can have multiple vehicles on a permit but only one in use 鈥� just like when people use to switch hangtags.
