Departmental permits Department permits for campus lots Departments requiring transportation between campus buildings that are not serviced by a TigerTransit route may request a limited number of departmental parking permits. Once approved, these virtual permits are self-managed by department administrator(s), allowing for a maximum of two vehicles to park in a designated lot(s) proximal to campus at one time. Request departmental permits by contacting The Service Point. Department guests permits Parking for department guests invited to campus must be arranged with The Service Point. Contractors, service providers, or vendor permits Outside businesses or individuals hired by University departments who require on-campus parking and/or main campus access, must have a University virtual parking permit.
