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. On campus housing and campus parking are separate areas. Campus permits (Green, Gold, Evening Orange, etc) may not park at the apartments.
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.
