Graduate Student
Graduate students who wish to park on campus in other than pay-to-park facilities are required to have a valid parking permit for their vehicle. Daily permits are available to all Commuting Students who do not wish to register for a regular parking permit because they do not normally drive to campus but find, on occasion, that the use of a vehicle is a necessity. The permit can be purchased online or at the Parking Services office prior to parking on campus, and will be valid for the same parking privileges as a regular parking permit for which the person could register. The Daily permit must be properly displayed. Daily parking permits are non-refundable.
Living off Campus
Graduate commuters may purchase a gate, central, gold, red, or a night/weekend permit. Purchasing your permit for the full year is more cost effective than purchasing for shorter time frames. Graduate gate permits are issued for the academic or annual year only, are valid in red lots, and in non-restricted lots after 5 p.m. on weekdays and on weekends. Students use their University ID card to access the garage; options include 24/7 access to the Perkins or Center for the Arts Garage or Center for the Arts Garage only access Monday through Friday 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. (after 7 p.m. on weekdays and anytime on weekends users will be expected to pay the current hourly rates).

Living on Campus
- Graduate students living on campus can only purchase a resident student permit. Teaching assistants and research assistants are eligible for central or gold lot privileges in addition to a resident lot.
- To ensure the closest available resident lot, it is best to register for a resident permit early. If you are a Teaching Assistant or Research Assistant, central or gold lot privileges will also be assigned.
Stipend
- Graduate students with a stipend may choose payroll deduction as a payment option at the beginning of the fall semester. If registering in advance, your stipend for the upcoming year must be in SIS by August 1. If it is not, the permit price will be charged to your student account.
