Student Parking
General Resident Information
Parking permits are now digital and are 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 associated with a permit, please log into the Parking Portal and make the necessary changes directly under your permit.

Parking permits for students living in residence halls are limited and sold on a first-come, first-serve basis. Permit sale dates are assigned on the basis of a student’s class standing. Upperclassmen (Juniors, Seniors, Graduates, GR-Special-NCF, Post BACC, Ed Specialist) will have priority sales; two days later underclassmen (Freshmen and Sophomores) sales will open.
Students who were not able to purchase a permit prior to school beginning have the opportunity to add themselves to a waitlist. Waitlists do not guarantee that you will receive a permit, and you will not be able to bring a vehicle until you receive notification from Parking Services that a space is available.
Permit Types
Resident permits are lot-specific, meaning they are only valid in one lot and nowhere else (see parking map). Resident permits do not cover metered, reserved, service, or any other stalls with signage. The only exception to this is Resident Accessible permits, which you can learn more about here. Resident permits are valid from the time of purchase through the conclusion of the academic year in May.
There are three categories of Resident permits:
Standard ($335): Lots 2R, 4R, 8, 9R, 17, 18, 19, 20
Remote ($185): Lot 22
Reserved ($535): Lots 3 and 9
Residents who need infrequent access to their vehicles are encouraged to purchase a permit for Lot 22 at $185. This lower cost alternative is located adjacent to the baseball field in the north-west corner of campus for the fall semester and moves to Lot 24 for the spring semester. Please consult a map before purchasing this permit, as there is significant walking involved to get to any residence hall from this lot.
Resident permits are only authorized for use by individuals living in campus residence halls and have their prices prorated throughout the year. If your housing contract is canceled, your permit will be revoked. Information regarding refunds and prorations can be found here.
Students are advised to follow this guide when choosing a resident permit based on their housing assignment:
NOTE: Parking Services retains the right to override any lot choices that are not correct for the residence hall indicated.
If you have a motorcycle, moped, or scooter you’d like to keep on campus, check out the Motorcycle Permit page.

General Commuter Information
Parking permits are now digital and are 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 the vehicle associated with a permit, please log into the Parking Portal and make the necessary changes directly under your permit.

Students who do not live in a residence hall on campus and who will be driving to campus for classes can purchase a Commuter parking permit. Commuter permits are only valid in designated commuter parking lots in the academic and athletic areas of campus, and do not allow parking in resident lots. Commuter permits do not cover metered, reserved, service, or any other stalls with signage. If you park in a metered (AMP) stall, you must pay for the time parked by downloading the app. Commuter permits are not authorized for use by individuals living in campus residence halls, and do not allow overnight parking. Violators will be subject to tickets.
Permit Types
There are two types of Commuter permits:
North (includes lots 11, 18, 19, 21, and 24): $155
South (includes lots 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 12, 14, Prince Street, and Prairie Street): $235
Commuter permits are restricted to their designated lots during the day (see parking map), but may utilize any commuter lots after 5PM. For example: students with a North Commuter permit can park in Lot 12 to study at the library, or students with a South Commuter permit can park in Lot 11 next to the Williams Center as long as it is after 5PM. Parking in the wrong area before 5PM will result in an Improper Lot citation being issued.
Commuter permits are valid from the time of purchase through the end of August, and have their prices prorated throughout the year. If you leave campus and are no longer considered a student or staff member, your permit will be revoked. Information regarding refunds and prorations can be found here.
Commuting students who drive infrequently may use any on-campus pay-by-space stalls by downloading the AIMS Mobile Pay parking app. Please note these are short-term parking spaces with a maximum 2 hour parking limit; you will not be able to extend your session after reaching this limit. Metered stall fees are required at all times except for University recognized holidays and on weekends (starting at 5PM on Friday and extending through 11PM on Sunday).
If you have a motorcycle, moped, or scooter you’d like to bring to campus, check out the Motorcycle Permit page.
The Parking Services office is located in the Visitor Center building at 826 W. Starin Road. Business office hours are Monday - Friday 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Contact us at (262) 472-1011 or e-mail us at parking@3-btravel.com
Summer Permit Information
Students who will be living on campus during the summer should purchase a Summer Resident permit for $85 after the spring semester concludes. Summer resident permits are not valid in reserved, restricted, or metered (AMP) stalls, but are able to park in any of the following resident lots until the end of August: 2R, 4R, 8, 9R, 17, 18, 19, 20, or 22.
Students who will be commuting to campus during the summer can either continue using their commuter permit from the school year if they have one, or purchase one at a prorated price. Commuter permits are valid in any commuter lot once the spring semester concludes, and are no longer limited to the North vs South designations used during the school year. Commuter permits are still not valid in resident lots, or in reserved, restricted, or metered (AMP) stalls for the summer.
If you have a motorcycle, moped, or scooter you’d like to bring to campus, check out the Motorcycle Permit page.

General Refund Information
If you leave the University and have a long-term annual permit and want to cancel that permit, you must complete the Request for Refund form. A prorated refund will be processed within 1 week from the date the refund form is submitted. The refund will be based on the date Parking Services has received the refund request form. If we do not receive a refund form but you are no longer affiliated with the university, your permit will simply be revoked.
Permits are refunded on a quarterly prorated schedule. This schedule begins on September 1st each year.
Full-year permits have a four-quarter prorated schedule: Commuter (North and South). Full-year permits are not eligible for a refund after May 31st.
Academic-year permits have a three-quarter prorated schedule: Resident Lots 2R, 3, 4R, 8, 9, 9R, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, and Accessible. Resident permits are valid for only three quarters which means they are not eligible for a refund after February 28th.
If you purchased a permit by Bill Account and do not complete the Request for Refund form, you will be responsible for the total permit fee.
A student who purchases an on-campus resident permit is responsible for notifying Parking Services and completing the refund form if they move off campus. Resident permits will be revoked if a student no longer lives in a residence hall, meaning that permit will no longer be valid. Students are eligible to exchange the resident permit for a commuter permit in this case, but commuter permits do not allow for overnight parking.
Proration Schedule
Permits are sold and refunded on a quarterly proration schedule.
FIRST QUARTER: September 1 to November 30
SECOND QUARTER: December 1 to February 28
THIRD QUARTER: March 1 to May 31
FOURTH QUARTER: June 1 to August 31
