Parking at Olds College

All students, staff and visitors who park on campus between the hours of 5 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday to Friday, September to June are required to have a parking permit. Parking permits are issued on the understanding that the owner/driver has the responsibility for obtaining and adhering to all traffic laws and campus regulations in place. The Traffic Act is fully applicable on campus 24 hours a day. The Town of Olds has parking restrictions in effect in residential areas close to the College. Individuals are strongly encouraged not to park in these neighborhoods and to use the appropriate parking lots on campus.
