Notre Dame Campus

Notre Dame Campus Parking Permits

At RRC Polytech, we aim to provide the best parking experience possible for staff and students. To ensure we can maintain and improve our parking services, there will be a gradual increase in monthly parking fees at the Notre Dame and Stevenson campuses. The first increase is $3 as of January 1, followed by $2 as of July 1, 2024.

Our goal is to keep parking rate increases manageable and reasonable over time. The new rates will support continued maintenance to our parking services, and where possible, upgrades to parking infrastructure. Learn more ›
