Faculty & Staff Parking
Faculty & Staff
Parking permits are now digital and enforced via License Plate Recognition (LPR). This means you will not receive any physical permit, because your license plate is your permit. Therefore, it is the permit holder's responsibility to maintain an accurate vehicle record. If there is any need to change vehicle(s) associated with a permit, please log into the parking portal and make the necessary changes directly under your permit.
Faculty and Staff (blue) permits are valid from September 1 to August 31 each year. This permit is valid in staff lots and on Prince and Prairie Street except between the hours of 2:00 am and 5:00 am when there is no overnight parking allowed on streets. Faculty and staff permits are valid 24 hours a day and the permit fee is $235 for fiscal year 2024. The following are designated staff/commuter parking lots:
NORTH LOTS: 11, 18, 19, 21, 24, 25
SOUTH LOTS: 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 12, 14, 25, Prince St, Prairie St.

Payroll Deduction
The employee permits may be payroll deducted for faculty and staff employees. Pricing can be found on the parking portal. Bi-weekly payroll deductions will begin in September with 10 deductions and end in January.
Reserved Parking
A limited number of reserved (red) parking spaces are available for faculty, staff, and students. Vehicles parked in a reserved stall without the appropriate permit will be ticketed and towed at owners expense. Reserved stalls in campus parking lots are reserved at all times and are designated with red signs. The annual fee for a reserved parking space is $535. Contact Parking Services regarding availability. In areas where all stalls are assigned, a waiting list is maintained.
Refunds
