Commuter Parking Permit Terms and Conditions

Parking Terms and Conditions:

How to park until you pick up your permit:

If you purchased a permit online within two weeks of the academic term start, you would be emailed a link to a temporary, printable permit valid for seven days from the date of purchase. You must follow the link and print your temporary permit within five days of your online purchase. 

What to do if you forget/lose your permit:

You must always display your parking permit when parked on campus, or you will be subject to a citation. If you don't have your permit for any reason, please call the TAPS office, 503-725-3442 to get a temporary permit for the day. Permit holders may use this option up to three times per month. If your permit is lost or missing, please visit our office to report your permit lost and request a replacement. There is a $25 replacement fee for lost permits. 

Part-time permits and finals week:

Part-time permits are valid all hours and all days during finals week of the associated term. Locations restrictions still apply.
