🚗 Scan to park with your QR code

Your QR code parking permit will be attached to your confirmation email. The QR code can be used in both digital and print formats:

• save your QR code to your mobile device as a digital PDF
• save a photo or screenshot of your QR code to your mobile device
• print out your QR code permit

When you arrive at the entrance or exit gate, scan the QR code using the scanner located at the bottom left of the entrance or exit terminal. The gate arm will lift, and you can enter or exit the lot.

Scanning tips:

• If scanning from your mobile device, remember to turn up the brightness.
• Hold the QR code a few inches below the scanner so the device can properly read the code.

 

🚘 Tap to park with mobile ID

Effective May 1, 2025, if you have a monthly parking permit and an eCard mobile ID, you can tap at the gate to enter and exit your designated parking lot.

Get started

• If you already have your permit, download the Transact app and set up your eCard mobile ID on your iPhone or Android device.
• Allow up to 24 hours for tap functionality to be enabled.

Tap requirements

• Your mobile device must be NFC enabled for the tap to work. NFC, or near-field communication, is a short-range wireless technology. If you can tap to pay, your phone is NFC enabled. Check your settings or device compatibility to confirm.
• Your phone may need to be unlocked for tap to work.
• Mobile ID is available for SAIT employees and students only.

Tap tips:

• Hold the back of your phone to the reader.
• If the tap doesn’t work, use your QR code permit as a backup. Contact Parking Services for help.

QR codes and scanners will remain operational. Legacy access cards will also continue to work. If you want to upgrade your card to tap to park, contact Parking Services.

How to pay at gated parking lots (P1, P2, P3 and P6)

Daily parkers or visitors who require short-term parking at a gated lot can choose to pay one of four ways:

• at one of the pay stations located across campus
• at the parking lot exit gate
• with their mobile device using Parkedin™
• at the Parking Office using a SAIT eCard (current students only)

⏩ Pro tip: Speed up exiting gated lots by paying at a pay station ahead of time.

Pay at a pay station

To pay at a pay station, scan the QR code on your entry ticket and follow the payment prompts.

Upon exit, scan the QR code on your entry ticket using the scanner at the bottom left of the exit terminal. The gate arm will then lift, and you can exit the lot.

Pay station locations:

• P6, level 1
• Stan Grad Centre
• Senator Burns building, NJ wing
• Thomas Riley building

Pay at the exit gate

To pay at the exit gate, scan the QR code on your entry ticket using the scanner at the bottom left of the exit terminal.

The amount owed will be displayed, and you can pay with:

• a credit or debit card
• the Parkedin^TM app
• a value card.

The gate arm will then lift, and you can exit the lot.

 

Parkedin^TM app

Parkedin™ is SAIT’s new mobile parking platform, allowing you to scan to pay for parking from your mobile phone. It’s free to download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

To pay using Parkedin™, use your mobile device to scan the QR code on the entry ticket you received upon entering the parking lot. Follow the prompts to prepay for parking. Upon exiting the lot, scan the QR code using the scanner at the bottom left of the exit terminal.

Value cards

Save on daily parking with a value card!

🏷️ Even more value: For every $120 loaded on a value card, get an additional $30 in free parking ($150 total value).

The maximum value the card will hold is $330.

Value cards can be purchased and reloaded at the Parking Office. Cards can also be reloaded at one of four pay stations in P6 (level 1), Stan Grad Centre, Senator Burns building (NJ wing) and the Thomas Riley building.

Your value card’s remaining balance will appear whenever the card is used and may also be checked at the Parking Office.

Refunds are unavailable on lost, stolen or unused portions of value cards. A one-time fully refundable deposit of $10 is required with your initial purchase.
