Please login to the parking website prior to registration to make sure your employee status is correct. If you have any questions regarding your FTE, please contact Human Resources (staff) or Nate Hallanger (faculty).

To register, log into Augnet and click "Parking Services" on the left hand side. Update your contact and vehicle information (license, make, model, color, year).

Please remember to bring a valid photo ID with you when you come to dispatch to pick up your permit.

During the school year we will start enforcing all lot designations again. In the summer, due to the lower flow of cars on campus we allowed all permit holders to park in any lots, but we will go back to enforcing the lots by permit type.

If you are interested in purchasing an underground parking permit, please keep in mind that those do not open for sale until August 29 at 8:30 a.m. and will be open for both residential students and Fac/Staff.
