Permit Refunds
General Refund Information
If you leave the University and have a long-term annual permit and want to cancel that permit, you must complete the Request for Refund form. A prorated refund will be processed within 1 week from the date the refund form is submitted. The refund will be based on the date Parking Services has received the refund request form. If we do not receive a refund form but you are no longer affiliated with the university, your permit will simply be revoked.
Permits are refunded on a quarterly prorated schedule. This schedule begins on September 1st each year.
Full-year permits have a four-quarter prorated schedule: Commuter (North and South), Faculty/Staff, Reserved Lots 12, 13, and 14. Full-year permits are not eligible for a refund after May 31st.
Academic-year permits have a three-quarter prorated schedule: Resident Lots 2R, 3, 4R, 8, 9, 9R, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, and Accessible. Resident permits are valid for only three quarters which means they are not eligible for a refund after February 28th.
For Students: If you purchased a permit by Bill Account and do not complete the Request for Refund form, you will be responsible for the total permit fee.
A student who purchases an on-campus resident permit is responsible for notifying Parking Services and completing the refund form if they move off campus. Resident permits will be revoked if a student no longer lives in a residence hall, meaning that permit will no longer be valid. Students are eligible to exchange the resident permit for a commuter permit in this case, but commuter permits do not allow for overnight parking.
For Employees: If you purchase a permit by payroll deduction and do not complete the Request for Refund form, you will be responsible for the total permit fee. Academic staff with nine-month contracts are not eligible for permit refunds.
