GENERAL REGISTRATION

Any 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.

Students are reminded that permits are virtual and linked to the license plate provided in the parking portal.

ADA PARKING ACCESS, SHORT-TERM PARKING, AND PERMIT UPGRADES

Students with a state-issued Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) placard who wish to purchase a supplemental parking permit for core parking access must 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 students who are requesting an upgrade for ADA access must submit a copy of the student's ADA placard ID card to the office.

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 will be available for short-term parking.
