Purchasing a Permit
To purchase online, log in to the Parking & Transportation Web Portal. You may also access the web portal via MyGS under Parking and Transportation > Parking Permits & Citations. Any outstanding parking citations must be settled prior to purchasing a permit. You may also purchase your permit in-office during normal business hours.
Students with a lot preference should purchase their permits as early as possible. Popular parking lots begin selling out a month before classes begin. There is a $5 fee for each additional vehicle registered to a permit. All permit values are pro-rated throughout the academic year.

Changes to your permit, such as adding/editing/removing vehicles, changing locations or requesting an early permit expiration/termination can be done via the web portal. Simply select the permit to see available options and their associated fees. You must choose ONE lot to park when purchasing your permit. You cannot have multiple permits. All permits allow you to park in lot 12, the RAC, and the Paulson Stadium.
