Photo: [Pexels](https://www.pexels.com) ## Parking at Saint Mary's University on Robie Street Campus parking is managed through the university’s Facilities Management pages, with permits available for purchase and spaces operating on a first-come, first-served basis (smu.ca). A student four-month general permit for summer costs $340, while students living in residence can apply for a $170 permit (smu.ca). For a short visit, dedicated metered spaces are available across campus, with temporary parking charged at $3 an hour for a maximum of 4 hours (smu.ca). Metered parking is free after 5:00 pm Monday to Friday, and all day on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays (smu.ca). Underground parking for students is limited to students living in residence (smu.ca). ## Shopping and Public Parking Around the South End Campus The campus sits in Halifax’s South End, where nearby public parking can be useful when campus spaces are occupied. The university’s own temporary parking information distinguishes metered spaces from permit parking, so a driver making a short stop should use a marked meter rather than a permit-only area (smu.ca). For longer stays, the campus’s official parking information also lists underground and overnight parking as separate arrangements from temporary metered parking (smu.ca). The clearest publicly posted short-stay option is the university’s $3-an-hour meter with its 4-hour maximum, while free metered parking begins after 5:00 pm on weekdays and applies on weekends and holidays (smu.ca). Show map of South End ## Parksy Spaces Within Walking Distance of SMU Students and staff looking for a regular base can use a monthly space on Atlantic Street, 310 m from campus, priced at $200 a month. A monthly space at 983 Ivanhoe Street is 430 m away and also costs $200 a month, while a monthly space at 604 Tower Road is 470 m away for $150 a month. For occasional visits, a parking lot 550 m away costs $2.95 an hour, and a space at 980 McLean Street is 560 m away at $2.95 an hour. A monthly space at 1152 Tower Road is 650 m away and costs $200 a month, making it a better fit for staff or students who need a longer-term alternative to daily parking. ## Busy Parking Periods Around Saint Mary's University Parking demand is likely to be most concentrated during teaching periods, when students and staff arrive at the same time, and during university events that bring visitors to the Robie Street campus. Campus spaces are first-come, first-served, so arriving during a busy period can make a permit less useful if all eligible spaces are occupied (smu.ca). Drivers using temporary parking also face the posted 4-hour maximum, while weekday metered parking becomes free after 5:00 pm and weekend or holiday parking is free (smu.ca).
