Does My Student Standing Affect What I'm Eligible To Purchase?

Freshman are only eligible to purchase select lots; therefore, options shown online will be limited for freshman students.  Permits shown for sophomores and higher are equalized.  A sophomore is defined as a student with 30 credit hours or more at the time of purchase.  In progress credits do not count toward credit hours.

Do Permits Sell Out?

Yes, options shown online are based on availability.  As areas sell out, they are removed as purchase options. 

What is A Waitlist?

Students may place themselves on a waitlist for a permit/area that has sold out.  This allows them to electronically "get in line" for a permit in a preferred area.  Waitlist issuance cannot be guaranteed; therefore, students should obtain alternative parking while on a waitlist.  Waitlists may be managed using the Student's Online Parking Portal. 

Can I Return My Permit for a Refund?

Permits may be returned for a refund.  Refunds may only be issued upon receipt of the physical permit in person or via mail. Permits are not eligible for refund within 5 weeks of the permit expiration date. 

What if I Lose My Permit or it is Stolen?

Please keep vehicles locked at all times to prevent theft. If a permit is lost or stolen, it must be reported immediately to obtain a replacement permit and avoid issues related to parking without a permit.  Permit replacement follows the following schedule during a 12-month period: 

First Instance:  Replaced at no charge

Second Instance:  Customer must purchase a permit at the rate associated with the permit at the time of purchase. 

Third Instance:  Replacement permits may not be obtained. 

Permit replacements are offered as a customer service measure to assist customers who lose their permits.  However, if a pattern of abuse is observed regarding lost/stolen permits, permit replacements may not be issued.  A pattern of abuse is defined as report of a permit as lost or stolen more than two times during a 12-month period. 

May I Share My Permit?

Permits are issued to the purchaser only and may not be shared.  Permits found in use by an individual other than the purchaser may result in a fine, boot and confiscation of the permit.
