If space in your preferred lot is sold out, you can sign up for the wait list through your eParking account. Having a space on the wait list does not guarantee that a parking permit will become available for you. An annual West Village resident permit can be purchased while on the wait list for your first choice. Enforcement of resident lots is 24/7 while the university is in session.
Resident students who move off campus or no longer need their permit must exchange their resident permit for a commuter/overflow permit or cancel it for a prorated refund. Permit exchanges must be done in person at Auxiliary Services Business Office. Refunds are not issued after the last business day of March.
