Employee Parking

Employee Parking Permits

Annual Employee Permits

• Annual employee permits are typically charged monthly through a pre-tax payroll deduction. 
• All employee permits are valid all hours, Monday-Sunday, in locations listed below. 
• Permits are not valid in reserved spaces or hourly spaces. 

*Carpool permits may be purchased by two or more employees who have compatible schedules and home addresses. All carpool partners must be present when purchasing a permit. Visit our Carpooling page for important details regarding carpool permits.

**Restricted Lot - these permits are often sold out but there are waitlists.

Academic Term Permits

Employees are also eligible to purchase academic term and annual Student Commuter Permits. Click here for a full list of term permits and rates. Note that sold out status of these permits does not apply to faculty and staff.

Permit Refunds

Parking permit charges are based on possession of the permit, rather than the use of the permit. There is a $5 return fee for all returned permits. Refunds are issued at a pro-rated amount based on the date the permit is returned, if the permit was paid for in full, i.e not payroll deducted.

Refunds will be credited to the employee's university account or to the credit card used at the time of purchase. Permits cannot be returned within the last two weeks of term, not including finals week of the academic term.

Annual permits billed through the university payroll must be returned by the 10th of the month to be effective on that month's pay cycle. A prorated daily fee will be charged between the 1st and the 10th at the time of return. No refunds are allowed after the 10th of the month for the unused time of the rest of the month for payroll deducted permits.

Account Privacy

All account information including name, contact, license plate, permit history, citation history, and account balances are kept private by PSU. This information is only used for business purposes and is not disclosed to individuals other than the account holder. Valid account number, license plate, or citation number must be provided in order to obtain any of the information listed above, or information deemed private to the account by PSU staff.

NOTE: Each driver uses PSU's parking facilities at their own risk and responsibility.
