Permits
ATTENTION: UNC parking rules and regulations are enforced all year.
UNC Parking Services has upgraded to a new computer system. This has necessitated some procedural changes. Remember, you must display your permit for it to be valid. Click here for Spring 2012 permit prices.
UNC Employees and Students, when you are ready to start the online purchase process, note that you will be asked to list the description and license plate number of the primary vehicle with which you intend to use this permit. A permit is only valid when used by the person to whom that permit was issued. Permits cannot legally be shared. Next log into Ursa. [For students who are registered for spring2012 classes, the Purchase Parking Permit link will be under the Financial tab in Ursa. For current employees, the Banner Self-Service block will be under the Employee tab or under the Banner tab in Ursa; Then an employee needs to click the Employee link in Banner Self-Service; Find & click the Parking Services link. In the Parking Services link, click "Permits Available Online".] If an online permit purchaser selects to have their permit mailed, then they are risking a mail delay which may cause the permit to arrive later than it is needed. The default is for online purchased permits to be held at Parking Services office until claimed by the purchaser with their photo ID. Parking Services office is open 8a-5p M-F when UNC is open. Employees & Students who want to pay with cash, check, Discover, MasterCard or Visa will need to come to Parking Services office to buy the permit. Right now payroll deduction is the only online payment option for employees and student bill is the only online payment option for students. All online permit purchasing is now done through Ursa; Here is a link to log into Ursa: https://ursa.unco.edu

Online purchases completed before 9pm will be mailed the next business day, if the purchaser chose mailing to a permanent address. Do not select to have your permit mailed to a residence hall address. If the purchaser chooses to pick up their permit and completes the permit order before 9pm, it will be ready after 1:00 pm the next business day, to be claimed with the purchaser’s photo ID at Parking Services Office in Gray Hall--not at University Center or at any other location. Or you may purchase your 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. 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. Discover, MasterCard & Visa are accepted, student accounts can be billed, or most employees can request payroll deduction to pay for a semester or an annual permit.
To avoid being issued a citation, plan to purchase an Hourly Permit at $1 per hour for up to 4 hours, a 12-hour Permit for $5 or a 24-hour Permit for $10 from one of the seven dispensers on campus if you do not have a current student permit or faculty/staff permit. Each dispenser location is represented on the map by a red circle around a red "P". Click here to open Parking Map. Click here for more info about Dispenser Permits. At present most of the dispensers are equipped to accept Discover, MasterCard or Visa credit cards as well as U.S. nickels, dimes, quarters, paper dollars, five dollar bills and dollar coins only. As of 23August2011 the dispenser permits cost $10 for 24 hours, $5 for 12 hours or $1 per hour for up to four hours.
Graduate Assistants/Teaching Assistants:
- If your contract is for fall semester only, then order a Fall GA Permit. You will only be eligible to purchase an annual GA permit if your GA contract was processed through Payroll Services 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 Payroll Services. We recommend that you track the progress of your contract through your department, then Graduate School.
- If you buy a Student Parking Permit, there will be a $5 exchange fee required to later exchange it for a GA Parking Permit. So do not get anxious--do not purchase a Student Parking Permit if you want to have a GA Parking Permit & if you expect to become authorized for a GA Parking Permit. Instead, contact Parking Services office about a temporary permit that would tide you over until your GA contract has been processed.
- If your contract has not processed by the time you need to come to campus, then stop first at Parking Services when we are open. Park at a metered space near our back door & pay the meter while you come in to obtain a temporary parking permit.
Replacement & Returned Permit Fees:
- Permits can be exchanged for a different format--e.g., hangtag exchanged for window sticker or vice versa--of the same type of permit for a nominal processing fee.
- Permits can be exchanged for a different type of permit--e.g., Student permit for a GA permit, Student-K permit for a Student permit, Faculty-Staff permit for an FS-K permit--for a slightly greater, nominal processing fee. Note that a limited number of Student-K and FS-K permits are issued; when they are sold out, no more can be issued.
- A student may obtain a refund for a returned parking permit during the first four weeks of semester during which that permit was purchased. The permit must be returned to UNC Parking Services. The refund would then be calculated based on the date of the student's total withdrawal from classes and the date that the permit is received. See "Student Permit Refund Policy printed on the current UNC Parking Map regarding the percent of the refund. There will also be a nominal processing fee.
University Apartment (UA) Residents:
- When "509 18th St, Unit #??? [insert your own Unit#], Greeley, CO 80631" is entered as the mailing destination during the online purchase of an annual or a semester parking permit, we will take that to mean that the purchaser currently resides at UA & that the purchaser will need a (free) UA permit in addition to the annual or semester/parking permit that he/she is now purchasing online. The UA permit will be issued free with the purchase of an annual/semester UNC permit.
- If the purchaser will be living at UA in the near future but he/she is not yet physically there, then do not enter the UA address for mailing the permit order. Rather, enter the address where you are & where you can physically receive the permit order. It would be wise to telephone UNC Parking Services (ph# 970.351.1971) soon after 8:00 am the very next business day morning after purchasing this permit online. That way the purchaser can tell us he's about to move to UA & would we please enclose a UA permit with the annual or semester permit that he just bought online the preceding day.
- The two permits will be mailed together in one envelope. Both permits must be displayed on any vehicle parked in a regular space in P-lot. These permits are not valid at metered spaces or at specially marked spaces.
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.
