General registration information
Upon completion of the registration, students print a temporary permit to display on their dashboard for immediate parking. Students may return to their account to print the permit if a printer is not available when completing the registration.
Permits will be mailed to the student's local or campus address. For prompt and accurate delivery, students must enter the complete address, including the street number and apartment number. Failure to notify the State College post office of a new off-campus address before registering for a permit may prevent permit delivery.
Once the permanent permit has been delivered, the printable temporary permit must be discarded, and the permanent permit displayed on the rear-view mirror of the vehicle.
Any students encountering issues while attempting to register for a permit are urged to avoid double-clicking or using the back button, as these actions may result in errors with your transaction. If issues arise while attempting to complete the registration, exit the site and contact Transportation Services for assistance.
ADA parking access and short-term parking needs
Students with a state-issued Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) placard who wish to purchase a supplemental parking permit for additional parking access should contact the Transportation Services Office to receive access to register online for these permits. General student parking registration must be completed online prior to applying for this option and a copy of the student's ADA placard ID card must be provided.
Students registering for short-term permits (issued on a weekly basis) must register in person at the Transportation Services Office. Not all student permit options will be available for short-term parking.
