Parking: Permits

All faculty, staff, and students are required to purchase and display a valid UT Dallas parking permit when parking a motorized vehicle on university property. If you find it difficult to hang it from the mirror, attaching a string to the hangtag works well. Students may not receive temporary free passes from the Information Center unless a permit has been purchased for the current academic year.

Parking registration is a personal obligation. Parking permits are the property of UT Dallas and issued to a specific individual - possession of the permit may not be transferred. By obtaining a parking permit, the holder agrees to abide by the rules and regulations of UTD.

You can park “down” from your permit color, but never up. Ex: Orange can also park in gold & green and gold can also park in green.

Students, faculty and staff are not allowed to park in visitor spaces; when driving a different vehicle a pass equivalent to the color of permit the person purchased should be obtained at the Information Center.

How to Purchase Permits

  • All permits are for the fiscal year, September 1st until August 31st of the next year

    • Students or Faculty/Staff members who wish to use disabled parking spaces on campus must be registered with the State as being disabled and purchase a green permit.
