Parking
Map of CBU Parking Locations
CBU Security Services maintains the University’s parking areas. In order to meet the varied needs of our students, faculty, staff and visitors, parking is by permit only. Each vehicle must clearly display a valid parking pass. Security personnel monitor our parking areas to ensure vehicles are parking in the proper, designated areas and are authorized by the Cape Breton Regional Municipality to issue parking violation tickets.
Permits can be purchased from the CBU Security Center from 8am to 4pm.
