Please view the Parking Hang Tag Distribution schedule on the Parking Permits page for specific dates, times and location that Parking Operations will be available so that you may pick up your parking hang tag.

You must contact Parking Operations to request this change.

A residential parking hang tag authorizes parking in a specific residential parking lot and does not authorize parking in all residential parking lots. Therefore, a residential student must contact Parking Operations to schedule an appointment to return their residential parking hang tag in exchange for the type of residential parking hang tag specific to the residential parking lot they will need to park in. This is only applicable to current and valid parking hang tags and does not apply to expired parking hang tags.

No, this will not be a lump sum deduction from your pay. Payroll deductions for the purchase of a parking hang tag are deducted over 24 biweekly or 12 monthly pay periods depending on the employee's pay structure.

You must contact Parking Operations to request this change.

Students with a valid and properly displayed parking hang tag may park in Lot J without paying the parking pay station.

University employees that have a PERKS in Lot J may park in their specific numbered PERKS space without paying the parking pay station.

All other individuals parking a vehicle in Lot J must pay the parking pay station to park in Lot J.

Yes. University parking hang tags are not valid in spaces with individual meters. All metered spaces require payment 24/7.

Students, faculty, and staff with any valid and current parking hang tag may park overnight in Lot B-East or I-North when traveling on official university business. Please see our interactive map for locations.

At times the university hosts events that require exclusive and accessible parking for event guests.  The event host (internal and external) pays to reserve the parking lot or space.  Keep in mind that parking hang tags do not guarantee convenient or preferred parking (unless it is a PERKS), but instead the opportunity to park in the lots that correspond to the hang tag purchased.  

You can quickly make updates by logging into the Parking Hang Tag Application and scrolling to the "Your Vehicles" section.  There you can add, remove, or update your vehicle information.
