The annual Parking Lottery for rising juniors and seniors living on campus for the 2026-2027 Academic Year is approaching. Since on-campus parking is limited, students must apply through the Parking Lottery for the permit option that best fits their academic plans (full year, fall only, or spring only).
Sign-ups for the Parking Lottery will be available from Monday, March 2, 2026, at 9:00 am through Wednesday, March 25, 2026, at 9:00 pm. All details, including permit options, eligibility, deadlines, parking locations, and application instructions are available on the Office of Transportation website. Please review this information carefully and ensure that you apply before the form closes, as late applications cannot be accepted.
Just a few important items to keep in mind:
- Student must reside on campus AND be a rising junior or senior to participate in the Parking Lottery.
- Students must have their own vehicle, or the vehicle of a parent/guardian, to be eligible for the Parking Lottery. Students are not allowed to request a parking permit for another student’s vehicle or transfer an offered permit to another student.
- Only the most recent submission will be processed. Submitting multiple forms will not increase selection chances. Students may resubmit prior to the deadline if their request changes.
Students selected in the Parking Lottery must complete all registration and payment requirements by the deadline in the offer email to secure their permit. There are limited parking permits available for resident students, so if you are offered one and no longer need it, please let us know so that we can assign it to another student.
