Permits & Registration: General Information

All University of Nebraska-Lincoln parking facilities, except metered areas and time-controlled zones, require a valid University of Nebraska parking permit 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

In addition, faculty, staff and students parking a vehicle on UNL-controlled property must register that vehicle with Parking & Transit Services. (Registering the vehicle is usually done when obtaining a permit. However, if additional vehicles are brought to campus, they need to be registered.)

Parking permits are the property of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and are issued to a specific individual. Ownership is not transferable. By obtaining a parking permit, the permit holder agrees to become familiar with and abide by the rules and regulations.

University of Nebraska faculty, staff and students who are primarily assigned to the UNL campus must purchase a permit from UNL's Parking & Transit Services Office and may not use permits from other campuses.

Permit holders are urged to protect their permits from theft by locking their vehicles. If a permit is lost the loss should be reported to Parking & Transit Services, in person, immediately. There is a $30.00 fee for replacement products.
