Charles Hall parking lot: New mandatory hang-tag system
January 30, 2026
To improve the overall parking experience and to ensure consistency and compliance, we’ve transitioned to a hang-tag system for all Charles Hall lot permit holders and permit holders with access to this lot.
If you’re a current Charles Hall lot permit holder and haven’t done so already, contact parking@dc-uoit.ca as soon as possible to pick up your hang tag. Once issued, the tag must be clearly displayed on your rearview mirror whenever you’re using the lot.
Please note: After Friday, February 6, parking enforcement will be ticketing any vehicles in this lot without a visible Charles Hall hang tag.
Non-permit holders: Short-term parking is available after 2 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends. Payment is required via the HONK mobile app or by scanning a QR code located on parking lot signage. Paid parking is strictly enforced.
Thank you for your co-operation as we work to improve parking operations.
Traffic advisory: Simcoe Street closure near Oshawa Campus
January 9, 2026
Starting as early as Monday, January 12, Metrolinx will begin work on the Bowmanville Extension, which will extend Lakeshore East GO rail service east to Bowmanville. As part of this project, the Simcoe Street Bridge over the CPKC rail tracks will be demolished and replaced. This will require a full closure of Simcoe Street between Avenue Street and Albany Street for approximately two years.
During this time, vehicle traffic will be detoured via Stevenson Road, and pedestrians will be redirected to the Michael Starr Trail. GO Transit routes 52, 56, and 92, as well as Durham Region Transit routes 92 and N2, will also be detoured. Signage will be installed to assist drivers and pedestrians.
Construction will take place Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Those traveling near the work zone should expect noise from trucks and heavy equipment, lights directed toward the site, and vibration monitoring to ensure safety.
Ontario Tech University has leased a portion of its Windfields Farm lands for the North of Nowhere music festival, scheduled for July 17 to 19, 2026.
The festival is an independently operated event.
All event operations, including security, crowd management, parking, transit co-ordination, noise control, cleanup and site restoration, are the responsibility of the festival organizers.
Campus operations are expected to remain unaffected.
Questions about the festival should be directed to its organizers.
Announcements
Ontario Tech University Welcomes the Ontario Government’s Investment in Post-secondary Education
Industry and government projections show Ontario will need tens of thousands of nuclear and other skilled engineers and workers in the coming years. Ontario Tech has long advocated for more domestic student funding for STEM programs, and we support the provincial government in taking a targeted approach to support this critical area.
“Today’s announcement will help us do our part to keep Ontario competitive, resilient, and self-reliant by strengthening the STEM talent pipeline,” said Dr. Steven Murphy, President and Vice-Chancellor of Ontario Tech University.
We support the provincial government lifting the tuition freeze, in a way that reflects inflation but that does not increase the burden on Ontario families. Ontario Tech believes everyone has the right to a world-class education, which is why it sets aside a portion of tuition to assist students with more limited financial means.
We look forward to continuing to work with the Government of Ontario, Minister of Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security and Minister of Finance to help students get the education they need to build a rewarding career.
