Parking and Transportation

Please remember to update your vehicle information when purchasing a new permit. The use of license plate recognition software will make it essential to have accurate license plate information in our database.  Your license plate will function as your permit for Faculty/Staff, Pavilion Garage Reserved and Commuter permit purchases. Residential permit purchasers will still receive a permit decal in the mail that must be displayed on their vehicle. Failure to provide accurate and updated license plate information may result in a $25 fine. Please note that license plates must always be visible from the drive aisle. For those that do not have a front license plate but would prefer to back into a space, front vanity plates may be obtained from the Parking office. 

Online sales for parking permits will begin at 8 a.m. CDT on the following dates:
