Your parking options depend on whether you will be attending a graduate or undergraduate student program for the academic year and whether you are a commuter or resident. We are currently in the renewal period and once the renewal period is over, students may purchase Spring semester parking permits using the Online Parking System.
During the renewal period, which takes place each semester in May and November, students with existing permits will receive an email to renew their parking. See more information about student renewals on the student renewal webpage.
Double check the lot you are purchasing before you complete your transaction. Refunds for incorrectly selected parking lots will take 10-15 business days minus a $25 restocking fee.
Parking permits are sold with the option of 2 expiration dates (end of fall or spring semester), but you choose your start date.
Undergraduate commuter parking options are: Lot 46 NRV Garage (north quad), Lot 47 Murray Hill Road (south quad)
Residential parking options are: Lot 46RC (the NRV garage) for Northside residents, Lot 57 for Southside residents, Lot 78 for Triangle Residents Only
Graduate commuters parking options for the south side are: Lot 44 and Lot 53 (Veale Garage)
Graduate commuter parking for north side are: Lot 29 (KSL/Thwing Garage) and Lot 46 (NRV Garage)
Important Mailing Information
- Our system also allows us to mail the permit to you via US Postal Services. Please be sure that you choose the correct address to which you want the permit mailed. If your permit starts less than 10 days of the date of purchase, it will not be mailed, as you may not receive the permit in time. You may pick up your permit at the Student Access Services Center at the Tinkham Veale University Center (TVUC) during business hours, if purchasing it within 10 days of when it starts.
- Permits will not be mailed to University addresses.
- We do not mail permits Dec 21st through January 1st during Winter Break. We will mail permits that start 10 days from January 2nd when we return from Winter break. All other permits will need to be picked up at the Tinkham Veale University Center.
For information about summer parking see the summer parking webpage.
Please select a date after July 1, 2024, as a start date for your Fall semester permit.
