If you are a Full-Time faculty member or a Priority Hire, you may choose to have your parking paid as a pre-tax payroll deduction. All others pay for the quarter upon submission of the form. Once the form has been completed by the division office and signed by the supervisor:
- Take the completed form to the Cashier’s Office and pay for parking. Receive the permit directly from the cashier.
- Pay for and pick up new permits each quarter.

Parking rates are calculated based on a percentage of full-time teaching load. Consult Transportation Services Links to an external site. for current rates.
