Important Permit Assignment Update - Lot 7 Closure
Junior and senior students currently assigned to Lot 7 will be reassigned to Lot 19 located in the Mowatt Lane Garage. This change will affect permit holders in the following residence halls: Anne Arundel, Dorchester, St. Mary's, Queen Anne, Somerset and Worcester.

Parking fees for Fall 2008 are as follows:

Permit fees will be charged to your student account.

Motorcyclists: Students who use a motorcycle as their primary vehicle may register for a free motorcycle decal. You may not register for a hanging permit with a lot assignment, but may purchase a bundle pack of 10 permits for the cost of $25 for parking in lots 6 or 4 on those days when you need to drive a vehicle other than your motorcycle.

Graduate Assistants may elect to have their parking permit fee for an annual student permit, payroll deducted on a pre-tax basis. (Fall Only permits are not included in this program.)  Since parking registration begins in April and the graduate assistant approved appointments will not be available to DOTS until two weeks before the first day of classes, all graduate students who believe they will be Graduate Assistants in Fall 2008 may select this method of payment.   When DOTS confirms that a student is a Graduate Assistant, an adjustment will be made to their SAR and payroll deduction will begin. The payroll deduction amount will be $10.65 for commuters, $20.60 for resident students for twenty pay periods. The SAR will be charged for any missed deductions.  For those graduate students who do not become Graduate Assistants, the parking fee will be charged to their student account.
