Do you have to have a permit to park on campus?
YES! There is no free parking on campus. All parking on campus includes a cost factor. If you are visiting the campus for an hour or two, you may park at a meter, in one of the paylots, or you can purchase a day pass. The cost is $7.00 per day. If you are a temporary employee you may purchase permits by the week or month.
What do I need to bring with me to buy a permit?
To purchase a permit at the U of U, you must show that your vehicle passes emissions. If your vehicle is registered in a county that requires an I/M certificate, (in Utah that would include Salt Lake, Davis, Weber, and Utah Counties), then you need to bring your vehicle registration. If your vehicle is registered elsewhere, you may need an emissions test performed on your vehicle.
Where is your office located and what is the best way to get there?
Our street address is 1901 E South Campus Drive. We're located in the west wing (D wing) of the Annex Building which sits at the corner of Wasatch Drive and South Campus Drive, just east of the Jon M. Huntsman Center.
Can I purchase a permit for less than the entire year?
Your choice is a semester or annual permit. The shorter the time, the more the cost. The least expensive option would be to purchase an annual permit and return it at any time throughout the year for a prorated refund.
I am hosting a special event. What do I need to do?
Guest permits are available from our office for $7.00 per day, per vehicle. If you are hosting a large event or for more than one day, please call 801-585-3977 and arrange parking with one of our special event coordinators.
I am terminating my position at the University. What do I do with my parking permit?
If you purchased your permit by cash, check or credit card, you may return your permit and if you are entitled to a refund, it will be mailed to your home address in approximately 3-5 weeks. If you purchased your permit on payroll deduction, return your permit as soon as possible either by bringing it in to our office or return it by mail. If you are on payroll deduction and you do not return your permit, you will continue to be financially responsible for the full payment of the permit.
I have a ticket. What do I do?
You can pay the original fee if paid within ten calendar days. After ten days, the amount increases and continues to do so every ten days. After sixty days, it goes to collections and may incur additional late fees, collection agency fees, or court costs. Pay ticket now.
How do I appeal a parking ticket?
Please follow the instructions on the back of your parking ticket. More information is available there. You have the right to appeal any ticket, either in writing, by fax (801-581-4056), through our online form, by email appeals@ucs.utah.edu, or in person. In person appeals hours are Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Friday.
