Faculty and staff can purchase a parking permit online. New permit purchase must occur when first parking on campus as an employee. With the campus License Plate Recognition System, your vehicle license plate serves as your parking permit identification. Permits for reserved lots and garages depend on availability. Cost may be prorated to reflect purchase date and expiration date. Prorated cost appears at checkout. If you have questions, call Parking and Transit Services at 402-472-1800.

Reserved Permits
Note: Reserved faculty/staff permit holders are assigned to parking lots when visiting East Campus. F10 and SA permits are valid in any parking lot.
The following guidelines will be used to assign reserved parking spaces in the F10 and F12 lots.
- Each Chancellor/Vice Chancellor has been allocated a number of spaces in the F10 and F12 parking lots and is responsible for managing his/her own allocation of space. The methodology for allocating these spaces may vary from one Vice Chancellor to another.
- Faculty and staff parking in these lots will pay the current reserved parking spot rate.
- Individuals wishing to park in the F10 or F12 parking lots must contact their respective Vice Chancellor. Please note, it is up to the individual Vice Chancellor's discretion on how these spaces are allocated.
- The Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance's Office will maintain an annual listing of the allocation and will distribute it to the Chancellor/Vice Chancellor's in May of each year so if there are changes to be made, it can be accomplished just prior to the annual parking permit sale period.

Cancellations
Permits ordered online that are not mailed must be picked up within 30 days of the permit's effective date or purchase date, whichever is later. If it is not picked up, the permit will be voided; you will be charged for this time.
