Purchase a Parking Permit

Note: The purchase of a new parking permit (e.g., for the new academic year) does not forgive outstanding citations.

Faculty, staff and students have two options to purchase a parking permit, online or at our office.

You must have a valid NU ID, license plate, make, model and color of the vehicle(s) that you bring to campus.

All valid parking permits are issued solely by UNL Parking & Transit Services and may not be resold.
