2024-25 Parking Permits

If you have not received a resident reserved or garage offer and will be coming to campus soon, you need to purchase a student or economy permit in order to park on campus. You could still get a resident reserved or garage offer later in the semester, at which time you could upgrade your permit type.

Resident Reserved

Resident Reserved permits will be offered in groups starting July 8. Offers will be sent in order based on the date residents signed their university housing contract. Once residents have received an offer in their university email account, they will have a deadline (noted in the email) to go online to their parking portal and purchase the permit before it is offered to the next group of residents. The deadline will give residents at least a few days before it expires.

Student Garage

Offers for garage permits will also be sent through email with a date to purchase by, but they will be offered to students who did not receive a resident reserved offer. Those who received a resident reserved offer will not be offered a garage permit.

Harmon Avenue Parking Garage Permits

Harmon Avenue Parking Garage permits will be prioritized for residence hall students. Once all residence hall students have had the opportunity to purchase a permit, offers will be extended to off-campus students. Priority for off-campus students will be given to previous Harmon Garage permit holders.

New applicants who have never held a Harmon Garage permit will be offered permits after all returning permit holders have been accommodated. Please note that these offers may not be available until after classes begin.

If you plan to bring a car to campus and have not received an offer for your preferred parking before your arrival, we recommend purchasing a student or economy parking permit and parking according to campus parking regulations until you receive an offer for your preferred parking. You can upgrade a student or economy permit to a garage permit during the academic year if you are offered one.

General Student & Economy

General Student and Economy permits will go on sale at the beginning of August. Permits can be purchased online in the parking portal.

Faculty/Staff

Faculty Staff permits will need to be purchased/renewed in July at the start of the 2025 fiscal year. Parking will send an email to all campus employees as a reminder and to give instructions on how to purchase a permit.
