To apply for access to these stalls please review the information below.

For temporary disabilities affecting mobility please contact Accessibility Services at stuserv@douglascollege.ca. Please be prepared to provide proof of your temporary disability in the form of medical documentation.

Accessibility Services will review your application and, if approved, will provide Parking Services with confirmation that you are eligible for temporary Accessibility Parking.

Temporary Disability accommodations will be granted for a limited period of time based on the students individual needs.

Parking will verify that your SPARC card is valid and assign the appropriate ePermit permissions to your account in the parking portal. 

Permanent/Chronic Disability accommodations are granted on a semesterly basis and must be re-applied for at the beginning of each semester when ePermits are released for purchase.

Parking at the Anvil Office Tower is managed by the City of New Westminster. There are accessible stalls on level 1 of the parkade and payment must be made at the pay stations or via the Passport Parking App.
