Your license plate will be your permit. When registering for parking, ensure that the license plate number is accurate for the car that will be parked on campus.
Backing into parking spaces and pulling through spaces is not permitted and will result in a citation. Exception: Those who wish to back in and/or pull through parking spaces must purchase a front vanity plate — the cost is $15.
2023-24 permits are valid from Aug. 16, 2023 — Aug. 15, 2024.
Student Parking Registration
Student parking registration access dates are based on the number of completed credit hours a student has obtained as determined by the Office of the Registrar.
Incoming students should submit all official transcripts in advance of their parking registration date if those transfer credits will change their class credit level.
