When applying for an annual parking permit, your application asks you to rank your top four parking lot choices.
To increase your chances of receiving a permit offer, we recommend ranking parking lots with lower demand. You can find a list of lower-demand parking lots in the chart below.
If you already submitted a parking application and have not received an offer, you do not need to reapply unless you want to update your lot choices. You were likely placed on a waitlist, where you will remain until an offer can be made to you. You can check with us to confirm.
2022-23 employee bus passes and afternoon, night, motorcycle, and moped permits are available without going through the waitlist process. These permits and passes are available for direct purchase in the eBusiness purchasing portal.
Students, you have a special permit process. Visit the student parking page for information.
