How do I get a parking decal or hand tag?

Students and employees may fill out this form and then visit the cashier’s office to pay for and pick up your parking decal. You can pay for and pick up your parking decal on the same day.

You may request a second parking pass if you have a second car. If you are driving a temporary car, you may request a temporary parking pass at the cashier window.

For 1-6 credit hours the fee is $40 and for 7+ credit hours the fee is $75. All employees pay $10 quarterly via payroll deduction for parking.
