We are currently issuing permits for the 2009-2010 academic year. The 2009-2010 permits are valid August 9, 2009 through August 7, 2010. Online purchases completed before 9pm will be mailed the next business day. If the purchaser chooses to pick up their permit and completes the permit order before 9pm, it will be ready by noon the next business day, to be claimed with the purchaser’s photo ID at Parking Services Office. Or you may purchase your 2009-2010 permit in person at UNC Parking Services Office in Gray Hall 8am-5pm Monday-Friday, when the university is open. That way you would leave with the permit in hand. Click here for 2009-2010 permit prices. If you need a K permit, purchase early! We recommend purchasing in July for annual K permits and finals week in December for spring K's. Click here to read about K-lot permits.
When you buy a permit online, you may opt to have the permit mailed to your home address or you may opt to pick it up at Parking Services in Gray Hall by presenting your photo ID. Do not select to have your permit mailed to a residence hall address. permits ordered online may be picked up only at Parking Services Office in Gray Hall. Permits ordered online can be picked up only at Parking Services in Gray Hall--not at University Center or at any other location.
To avoid being issued a citation, plan to purchase a Daily Dispenser Permit (Price=$5.00) from one of the eight dispensers on campus if you do not have a current student permit or faculty/staff permit. Click here to open Parking Map. Eight red stars on the map indicate locations of Daily Dispensers. At present the dispensers are equipped to accept U.S. nickels, dimes, quarters, paper dollars, five dollar bills and dollar coins only. As of 24Aug09 the dispenser permits cost $5 for 24 hours. Click here for info about 24Aug09 price increases for daily parking permits.
When you have initiated the online Parking Permit Registration program (just after logging in with your PDID and password), the first page is headed “PERMITS—Please Select Your Permits”. Note that it costs less money to buy an annual permit than it costs to buy two successive semester permits. But if you plan to leave UNC after Fall2009, you may want to purchase a Fall Semester Permit. Your choices of Fall permits will appear by clicking the mouse inside the box labeled “Fall”, which appears after both the box labeled “Yearly Permits” and the list of your choices for an annual parking permit.
Graduate Assistants/Teaching Assistants: If your contract is for fall semester only, then order a Fall GA Permit. Do this by scrolling down to the box labeled “Fall”. You will only be eligible to purchase an annual GA permit if your GA contract was processed through the Graduate School as an annual contract. Attempting to purchase an annual permit when your contract is for a semester will only delay the receipt of a permit. If the choice of a GA permit does not appear among your permit choices, then your contract has not processed through the Graduate School. You may want to check with your department to see if you could expedite the process by walking your own contract through the department and on to the Graduate School.
ST and FS permits may be purchased online using the appropriate link directly below, providing this is one's first permit purchase in the current academic year. If you start the purchase process but then exit before the page "SUMMARY...Thank You...Sale Complete...", please wait an hour before trying again. Click on either "STUDENTS" or "FACULTY/STAFF" (below) to initiate your permit purchase.
To buy your permit online:
Discover, MasterCard & Visa are accepted, student accounts can be billed, or employees can request payroll deduction to pay for a semester or annual permit.
| Attention Faculty and Staff! The option to have your parking permit deducted Pre-Tax is available. If you want your permit deducted Pre-Tax, you must choose the Pre-Tax Deduction option on the parking permit registration form or the online permit registration page. Permits will be deducted over the number of pay periods remaining through July. You may have additional permits deducted, but only ONE permit can be purchased Pre-Tax. There will be no refunds issued for Pre-Tax parking permits. For information regarding retirement/Pre-Tax deductions, please contact UNC Human Resources at 970-351-2718. If you have questions or need more information concerning your parking permit registration, please contact the Parking Services Office at 970-351-1971. |
When a UNC employee who was paying for their parking permit(s) via monthly payroll deductions or via monthly payments then terminates UNC employment, they need to return their permit(s) to UNC Parking Services in order to stop the obligation to make payments. Click here for more detail.
No tax revenue, student fee monies, or tuition funds are allocated for parking services. Therefore maintenance, improvement and security of all parking lots on campus must be paid for by funds received from permit sales and citation fines. Additionally the fees we collect currently pay for the Boomerang Shuttle.
