Employee Parking
A variety of permit options are available to employees, including monthly permits for full-time employees as well as more flexible permit packs that provide a set number of one-day permits. Each time a registered license plate is detected on campus, one permit is used. Permit packs can be used on any day and are not limited to specific weekdays.
How to Purchase a Permit
To purchase a parking permit, employees can login to their parking account using their SSO credentials, or visit the Parking Operations Office at 5115 Oak St., Suite 221.
