For departments who want to offer daily parking permits to their guests, we now offer a streamlined digital process through ParkMobile. The vehicle and license plate number are registered to park through an access code and registration link sent by the department, no display of a physical permit is required.
This allows for departments to contact guests prior to visiting campus for parking registration. Guests can register at any time once the access code and registration link are received. Once a request is sent, a Parking & Transit Services staff member will contact the department and provide the access code and registration link (the link can be viewed here). Departments are billed for the quantity and type of permits requested; guests register to park at no cost.
Options include non-gated, gated, metered and event parking. Metered, gated and event parking requests require an event date to process, while non-gated “All Campus” permits can be ordered in bulk, saved, and sent as needed for future events and guests.
