Selecting Your Permit by Semester

If you plan to attend classes in the fall and spring semesters, we recommend purchasing a Fall/Spring 2026-27 permit to secure your preferred parking area for both semesters. Permit fees for both semesters (fall/spring) will be assessed during the fall semester. 

Students who select a fall only permit will be assessed the single semester cost for the permit. Fall only permits expire on January 9, 2027, and will not renew.  

All permit charges will appear on Owl Express the day after completing your permit selection. This is a separate charge from the mandatory parking fee that supports parking infrastructure.
