2025–2026 Parking Rate Changes and Permit Options
Parking & Transportation Services is making changes to parking rates and permit options for the 2025–2026 academic year. These updates have been made following a thorough review of campus-wide parking trends. They are designed to provide more equitable options for commuter students while aligning visitor rates with industry standards.
A small number of students, short-term guests, and other visitors may see increases in permit rates or changes in availability.
All changes will take effect with the Fall 2025 permit sales, beginning at 9 a.m. on Monday, August 11, 2025.
Student Parking
- Resident permit eligibility (based on housing status and earned credits) will remain unchanged.
- Commuter permit eligibility will still be based on the number of earned credits.
- There are no changes to permit rates or availability for:
- CORE areas
- Overflow lots
- Resident student permits
Residents who use campus parking more frequently will continue to pay higher rates than commuters.
