Parking Division

Except for virtual C, R or Motorcycle- you can come to our office during our normal office hours to purchase a parking permit.

The Parking Division is located in 30 Gilchrist Hall. Parking personnel can answer your questions and provide you with directions, maps and appropriate permits.

Permit Refunds:

-To apply for a refund on a VIRTUAL PARKING PERMIT (C, R or Motorcycle permits only) visit our Virtual Permits page.

-All other refunds for physical parking permits can be made at the Parking Office during our normal hours. We do not recommend mailing it to our office since mail can be lost in transit and no refund can be issued without the permit returned.

Pre ordering for the 2024-25 academic year is scheduled to begin Monday, April 1, 2024. 
There are several changes for the next academic year:
-B Student permits will now be Virtual Permit. This is a permit number assigned to your vehicle's plate. You will not receive a physical hang tag or permit. 
-B and C student permits now offer a Fall only option. They will expire on December 31, 2024.
 
If you already have a current parking permit (other than a temporary) you do not need to order another for Spring 2024!
 
Except for C, R and Motorcycle (MC) virtual permits- all other permits are issued from the Parking Office located in Gilchrist Hall room 30. C, R and Motorcycle virtual parking permits are still ordered via the Parking Portal
