UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State University Park student parking registration for summer 2023 will be available exclusively online at the Transportation Services website beginning Monday, May 8, at noon. All students, regardless of semester standing, are eligible to register for summer parking.
Summer permits will be prorated at the beginning of each week and the current prorated rate will appear at checkout.
Students who will not need on-campus parking prior to the start of summer session II may wait to register for a permit until Monday, June 26, to only pay for the time they will be parking on campus.
Summer permits purchased before this date will be subject to the applicable permit fee, even if the permit is only used during summer session II.

During the summer sessions, students living on campus may purchase a permit for any of the lots listed below, regardless of residence location:
- Brown 11
- Lot 22
- Lot 42

- Lot 83
- NDS/Nittany Deck

Permit access for the fall and spring semesters will continue to be determined by the student’s assigned residence hall address.

- License plate(s) information (vehicles must be owned by the student or a member of the student's immediate family)
General Registration
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.
Students will be able to pick up their official parking permit from the Transportation Services Office beginning two business days after they complete online permit registration.
The Transportation Services Office is located at 1 Eisenhower Deck, and hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays. Students must bring their Penn State ID when they pick up their permit.
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, please exit the site and contact Transportation Services for assistance.
ADA Parking Access, Short-Term Parking and Permit Upgrades
Students eligible for upgrades (such as select graduate assistants and student athletes) and students with a state-issued Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) placard who wish to purchase a supplemental parking permit for core parking access must 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 students who are requesting an upgrade for ADA access must submit a copy of the student's ADA placard ID card to the office.
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.
