Permit Allocation ProcessInitial notification emails are typically sent by the last day of school to reduce summer uncertainty.
This email will inform students whether a parking permit has been “reserved” or they have been “waitlisted”.
“Reserved” permits are NOT GUARANTEED. The student must still meet all requirements.
A second email will be sent in early August with:
If a permit has been reserved, a $78.25 non-refundable fee will be posted to your School Cash Online account over the summer around August 15th. Payment must be completed before picking up your permit.
IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the student to monitor their email over the summer.
Permit Pick-UpPick-up for students with “reserved” status is typically scheduled during pre-service week (anticipated dates: August 17 and August 21) or can be picked anytime before school, during lunch or after school once school starts until September 11th if all requirements are met.
If requirements are not met by September 11, the reserved permit will be revoked and the student will be placed on the waitlist.
Waitlisted students are notified when permits become available and are approved on a first-come, first-served basis as they meet the requirements.
Once on the waitlist, no permits are reserved. They are only issued while supply lasts.
Important NotesADA Parking: Requires BOTH an official MVA placard and a school-issued permit. Spaces are first-come, first-served.
No Guarantees: Submitting an application does not guarantee a permit.
Internship or COSA students: Are not guaranteed parking permits. Please consider alternate arrangements now, in the event your student does not get a permit.
