To meet the COVID-19 social distancing restrictions, the parking operations staff has added a new online system, Rydin PermitExpress, to process and mail permits. Parking offers will still be processed via campus email for students to accept or reject. Once you have accepted your parking permit offer, you will be directed to visit the online site to register your vehicles, pay for your permit, and designate where to mail your permit.  The amount of $139.80 plus a processing and mailing fee of $5 can be paid by credit card or billed to your student account.

Please note that it may take up to three business days after you accept your permit offer before access is available to the registration account. Therefore, we ask that you exercise patience and try again within the three-day window.

Parking permits for the 2020-21 academic year will be hangtag permits. Hangtag permits must be placed on the rearview mirror of your vehicle facing out through the windshield. Head-in only parking is still required.
