Permit Info

Student

Registration-Students will register during the spring for permits valid the following fall.

• The priority system will determine assignments and notifications will be made electronically. The factors considered are cumulative hours, classification, and dormitory residency.
• Failure to register during this period may reduce the chance of being assigned a permit in a preferred lot or may result in no assignment being awarded at all. Adhere to deadlines for payment and/or acknowledgement of assignment acceptance to avoid forfeiture of an awarded assignment.

Mid year purchase-Lots and decks that do not have a waitlist are available for immediate purchase over the counter at Parking Services.  Students may purchase a parking permit during the school year even if they weren't assigned a space previously.  Mid-year permit purchases are at a prorated charge.

Lot changes-Changes may be requested by registering online for a more preferred lot. A new assignment will be determined by the priority system factors and may result in additional fees or a refund.

Payments-Permit fees will be transferred to the Student Accounts division of the Bursar's Office.

Spouses of Students

Spouses of students who are residents of Family Housing may obtain a permit in the housing lot by presenting a Family Housing Verification Form to Parking Services. Based on availability, permits will be issued in the requested lot.

Faculty/Staff

Registration-All employees must register during the spring for permits valid the following fall, including those employees who wish to be ‘grandfathered’ into their current lot .

• Except in cases of the loss of a lot, employees who register prior to the established spring registration deadline are guaranteed a fall assignment to the same lot they have a permit for on the scheduled grandfathering date.
• Failure to register during this time period may result in loss of a preferred lot.
• The priority system will determine assignments and notifications will be made electronically. The factors considered are job classification and most recent continuous years of service.
• Employees must adhere to deadlines for payment and/or acknowledgement of assignment acceptance to avoid forfeiture of an awarded assignment.

Changing Lots- Changes may be requested by registering online for a more preferred lot. A new assignment will be determined by the priority system factors and may result in additional fees or a refund.

Payroll Deductions- Permanent faculty and staff may choose to have permit fees payroll deducted. Current Internal Revenue Service regulations allow this to be a pre-tax option of the employee. Changes in employment status may affect payroll deduction eligibility and it may be necessary to pay the balance on the permit to avoid cancellation.

Leave without pay- Personnel leaving campus for an extended period of time should make arrangements to pay for the balance due on the permit to avoid cancellation. Employees are advised that if the permit is not continued for the duration of the year, the employee may not be grandfathered into the lot during the following year’s registration.

Terminated Faculty/Staff- Exiting employees are no longer eligible for a permit and must return their permit to Parking Services. A prorated refund may be issued. Failure to return a permit will result in charges incurred on your account.

New Employees

Registration-New employees must present a completed New Faculty/Staff Request for Services form with the UGA ID number filled in to be eligible to purchase a permit.

• New employees will be able to obtain a permit in a lot that has no wait list by visiting the Parking Services office. If the new employee prefers another area, they may register and wait for an assignment in the lot requested.
• If not eligible for payroll deductions, the permit must be purchased in full. The first month must be paid at time of issuance if the payroll option is available.

Retired Employees

Registration-Retirees must follow the same registration procedures as regular Faculty/Staff. All retiree permits are pro-rated at 1/2 price and must be purchased for the full year.
