• Completed at least 29.1 credits, except for commuters, graduate students, and pre-approved first-year students (visit the Transportation Services website for more information on first-year student parking exceptions).

Students will not receive a physical permit to display on their vehicle. Permits are virtual and directly linked to the license plate associated with the vehicle registered with the permit. Students may print their permit at any time if they would like to have a physical copy.

Students encountering issues while attempting to register for a permit are urged to avoid double-clicking or using the back button, as these actions may result in errors with your transaction. If issues arise while attempting to complete the registration, please exit the site and contact Transportation Services for assistance.

To help ensure a smooth parking registration process, please add your vehicle information to your parking account, including the license plate number and state, as well as the vehicle's make, model and color. Your payment method's billing postal code must match the postal code manually entered during payment. Also, be sure all pre-arrival requirements with the University (Registrar, Bursar, etc.) are completed before next week.

Students with a state-issued Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) placard who wish to obtain a supplemental parking permit for additional parking access should contact the Transportation Services Office to receive access to register online for these permits. General student parking registration must be completed online prior to applying for this option, and a copy of the student's ADA placard ID card must be provided.

Students registering for short-term permits (issued on a weekly basis) must register in person at the Transportation Services Office. Not all student permit options are available for short-term parking.
