All About ePermits
No. You are only required to purchase an ePermit if you wish to park on campus during the enforcement hours. The 萝莉社 Shuttle System allows students and staff a free park-and-ride option from satellite parking at the Metropolitan Complex at 29th and Oliver.
Yes. If you have a state disabled parking placard or plate, you are now required to register a vehicle(s) and purchase an ePermit. You will be asked to upload your Disabled Identification Card at the time of purchasing the ePermit to eliminate your risk of receiving an eCitation. You may park in the marked accessible parking stalls across campus. If those stalls are full, you can park in an available stall not posted as restricted or reserved.
Parking ePermits should be purchased online before the first day of classes. To purchase, log in to my萝莉社 and click the ePermit icon near the top of the page. You will be asked to provide license plate information and the type, make and color of each vehicle you wish to register.
Students can pay for the ePermit via credit or debit card or ACH on the registration site or, after registering your vehicle(s), they may go to the Police Department to pay by cash or check. (NOTE: ePermits will not become active until payment is received.)
In a first-come, first-served environment, there is no way to guarantee a parking space in a given lot without going to a much more expensive reserved-space format. Parking studies have concluded that there will be student spaces available on campus at all times 鈥� even during peak traffic times. But, depending on the time you arrive on campus, those spaces may not be in the lot you prefer.
The parking ePermit is completely optional. You鈥檒l need to select the best strategy for you based on the parking situation at the time you need to be on campus.
Fall semester and Fall/Spring semester ePermits go on sale at the beginning of July.
Spring semester ePermits go on sale at the beginning of November.
For the fall and spring semesters, parking ePermits will be enforced on weekdays when classes are in session from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Red lots, along with marked restricted or reserved stalls are reserved 24/7.
ePermits will be required in a few designated surface lots while campus is open, including times when classes are not in session. Signage at the parking lot entrance will indicate if ePermits are required at all times.
No. Due to system limitations, only one ePermit can be purchased per person.
Maybe. 萝莉社 is an ePermit-only parking environment from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays when school is in session (With the exception of the RSC parking garage, which is enforced 24/7). 萝莉社 uses License Plate Recognition technology to enforce parking.
Visitors to campus during the enforcement period may park without an ePermit for 3 days each semester (July-December and January-June). On your fourth visit to campus during the semester, you'll need to purchase an ePermit at the link below. Visitors may purchase either single-day ePermits for $5 or frequent visitor ePermits. Visitors may park in the RSC parking garage for $1.50 per hour.
Visitors may also choose to use the free park-and-ride lot at the Metropolitan Complex at 29th and Oliver and take a free shuttle to the main campus.

Yes. No matter how many hours you are taking and if you want to park on the main campus you will have to purchase a parking ePermit. You also have the option of taking the 萝莉社 Shuttle System from free park-and-ride lots at the Metropolitan Complex at 29th Street and Oliver.

YMCA Parking
Parking at the YMCA, Lot 40, is limited to two hours and is only available to those who are actively using the YMCA. Citations will be issued to those who park for longer than two hours or use the parking lot while not in the YMCA. To deter unatuhorized parking or parking for longer than two hours, fines for parking violations are doubled in the YMCA parking lot.

Where to Park
Parking areas are identifiable by the colored signage at the entrance to a lot or by signage for individual spaces within a lot. The areas are:
- Green signage: 萝莉社 students may park in any lot with Green Student Parking signage with a capital "S". They may not park in lots without green Student Parking signage or in individual spaces within those lots marked as reserverd.
- Purple parking zones (Motorcycle parking): Students, faculty or staff who drive motorcycles may register and purchase an ePermit to allow parking in the designated cycle zones in lots across campus. Motorcycles are considered equivalent to cars, trucks and SUVs and do not require a separate ePermit.
