Commuting by Car or Motorcycle

Purchasing Parking Permits

All parking permit purchases require a student ID number, Husky Card (if applicable), vehicle license plate numbers, driver’s license number and make and year of vehicles. Accepted forms of payment include cash, check, Visa/Mastercard or Husky Card Account debit. Permits are prorated daily. Fill in your check at the time of purchase as prices will vary.

Dorm students needing to renew after their quarter permit has expired must return to their dorm desk to receive an approval application card before we can issue a permit. Dorm students are eligible for quarterly or academic year permits.
