Starting May 1, summer parking permits will be available for purchase on the Parking Portal. With the exception of summer permits, student permits will expire on August 15, and faculty/staff permits will expire on August 31. A complete list is available below, on the parking website, and as a PDF document.
Virtual Permits
As a reminder, most permits are virtual permits, meaning one will not be issued or mailed a physical hangtag permit. Your license plate serves as your permit. Your permit will be valid once purchased. Instructions on how to add and change your vehicles are available online. Please note that your license plate must be attached to your permit, not just your parking account.

- Student summer semester permits (except Summer Session General Permit) are valid until August 15, 2025.
- Faculty/staff summer semester permits are valid until August 31, 2025.
- Adjunct and non-student wage employee summer semester permits are valid until August 22, 2025.
