Here is how each option shakes out:
- Vol Hall Garage hourly parking is most convenient if you are ONLY on campus for the one class and here for 2 ½ hours or less
- $5 Daily Permit parking is convenient and more affordable if you will be on campus for an extended amount of time on that specific day
- $5 Scratch Off is convenient if you want to purchase a small number and G10 is convenient to where you want to get to (You can also take the T Bus around campus!!!)
- Staff Permit one month at a time – you are needing to be on campus for October for a specific research project, but the rest of the semester you will be working or teaching remotely. This permit requires a note from your department to authorize this type of permit.
NOTE: The benefit of having a continuous Faculty/Staff Permit regular parking permit are: payroll deduction (if eligible) and a consistent area assignment (if you are only buying a month permit – we cannot assure you will be in the same parking area).
FAQ –What do Faculty/Staff do when they come back?
If you were authorized to purchase a permit summer 2020, then you can go online to the Parking Portal, input your Net ID and Password, proceed with authentication, then review your personal and vehicle information, indicate where it should be mailed, and confirm payment of credit card or payroll deduction.
Hangtag will arrive within 7-10 days. Please print the temporary permit to place on your dashboard until the hangtag arrives.
