Q&A

Where can I purchase a permit?

Students, Employees, and Tenants: Online in the UT Parking Portal. Fall 2025 – Summer 2026 parking permits will be available for purchase beginning July 1, and are virtual – your license plate or temporary tag number will be your permit.

ICL Students: TBD – details coming soon!

  • Be sure to enter the license plate numbers and letters correctly as well as the State so when the plate is scanned or entered your permit will display.
  • Temporary Tags may be all numbers (e.g. NV, front window display) or a mix of letters and numbers (e.g. UT, back display); login to your account and update your permit when new plates arrive and are put on the vehicle.
  • It is the responsibility of each UT employee and student to keep parking registration up to date.
  • When do I have to have my permit by and do you ticket the first week of the semester?

    Permits are required the first day of the new semester. In other words, Annual permits begin each academic year on the first class day of Fall semester and are valid all three semesters of that year; Fall, Spring, and Summer (example: 8/18/2025 – 8/14/2026). Semester permits begin on the first class day of the semester and are valid until the Friday before the next semester starts (example: Fall 2025 is 8/18/2025 – 1/9/2026).

    Citations are given the first week of the semester, however, more warnings are issued to serve as helpful reminders.

    May I share my permit with another student or employee?

    Sharing of the permit is not allowed, and each student and employee must purchase their own permit in their own UT Parking Portal account. This information and more can be found on the Parking Permits webpage.

    What do I need to register a vehicle?

    Utah Tech ID number (Student/Faculty/Staff/Tenant) and Vehicle license plate or temporary tag number, state, make, model, color.

  • Temporary Tags may be all numbers (e.g. NV, front window display) or a mix of letters and numbers (e.g. UT, back display); login to your account again and update your permit when new plates arrive and are put on the vehicle.

    What if I don't have my license plates yet, how do I register my vehicle with my permit?

    For new vehicles, enter the temporary license tag number to purchase your permit. When your plates arrive, login to the UT Parking Portal again to update your account.

    I ordered my permit online, do I need to pick up a permit hang tag?

    No more waiting in line to pick up a permit hang tag! Your license plate number is your permit and issued in real time upon completion of purchase.

    If I attend classes online, do I need to buy a permit?

    Students taking classes online will still need to purchase a parking permit if they wish to use campus facilities, such as, but not limited to, the HPC and Library. As a reminder, per policy, all student vehicles parked on campus must bear a current, valid parking permit.

    Do I need a permit if I am bringing a motorcycle to campus?

    If you are parking in a motorcycle stall a permit is typically not needed. However, if parking in a regular vehicle stall and/or Housing* lot, the motorcycle must be registered as a vehicle to your parking permit. Motorcycle stall locations can be found on the Parking and Campus Map.

    NOTE*: Housing resident motorcycles must be parked in Housing lot Motorcycle designated stalls and may not share or “save” a parking space with or for another vehicle, and the motorcycle must be registered to the student’s Housing permit.

    NOTE: Motorcycles must be parked in a parking stall and will be cited if found parking outside of a stall, on sidewalks, etc.

    I have a state-issued UT (Utah Tech) collegiate license plate, does it work as a campus parking permit?

    All donation funds from the UT special plate and registration fee go towards student scholarships, thus the plate does not serve as a campus parking permit. See the Alumni page for more information about this great collegiate tradition.

    I am allowed to register two vehicles with my permit, can I share my permit with another student/employee and both vehicles be parked on campus at the same time?

    No, second vehicles are considered an alternate to the primary vehicle, must be registered to the same owner, and only one vehicle may be parked on campus at any given time.

    Note: Sharing of the permit is not allowed and all students and employees must have their own permit purchased on their account. Unauthorized sharing may result in citing the vehicle (such a case will be no defense upon appeal) and if any vehicle registered to a permit is found to match another student or employee the vehicle will be removed from the permit purchaser’s permit and account.

    Can I sell or transfer my permit to another person?

    No, the permit is for the exclusive use only to the person it was issued to and may not be sold or transferred to anyone else.

    Note: Unauthorized sharing may result in citing the vehicle (such a case will be no defense upon appeal) and if any vehicle registered to a permit is found to match another student or employee the vehicle will be removed from the permit purchaser’s permit and account. Sharing of the permit is not allowed and all students and employees must have their own permit purchased on their account.

    Can I change my permit type? For example, from a General Faculty/Staff to a Premium Faculty/Staff permit or vice versa?

    Yes, please contact us by email at parkingoffice@utahtech.edu or phone 435-879-4335 for assistance in doing so.

    Can I park in an Economy lot with a Student/Housing/General/Premium parking permit?

    Yes. All permit types are accepted in the Economy lots.

    Do I need a permit for the summer semester?

    Yes. Parking permits are required year-round and all student, faculty/staff, and tenant vehicles must bear a valid parking permit to park on campus.

    What do I do if my permitted car is in the shop?

    Parking Services offers temporary hangtags for loaner vehicles to students and employees whose vehicles are being repaired if they have a valid, current permit on file. Please visit our office; we will issue you one at no cost.

    We are located in the University Police (UTPD) offices located in the northeast corner of the Anthony Burns building off the Palm Street sidewalk just south of the Holland Library.

    I am recovering from an injury/surgery, do you provide temporary Handicap tags?

    We do not provide Handicap tags as these are issued by the State. However, we recommend talking with your doctor about obtaining a temporary Handicap placard, and contacting our office for advisement on where to park while waiting for your placard to arrive and/or you have questions.

    (Where) Can I park overnight?

    Overnight parking is permitted in Housing lots only (parking map). All other lots are designated No Overnight Parking between the hours of 11:00PM – 7:00AM.

    For on-campus housing residents living in Campus View Suites, overnight parking lots are east of Campus View Suites II and south of Campus View Suites III (Lot G, H), lower North Commons (Lot X) and 100 S 850 E (Lot V). If these lots are completely full, CVS residents may use upper North Commons (Lot W) and Hazy (Lot K) as overflow parking overnight. Housing lots can be located on the Parking and Campus Map.

    Caution: Housing and overnight parking is not permitted in the lots west of Campus View Suites I (E, D, C, CC, B) and vehicles will be cited for Improper Housing Permit Parking.

    On-street parking is available first come first serve for off-campus housing and apartment residents adjacent to campus (housing overnight parking is for on-campus housing residents only and vehicles must bear a UT Housing parking permit).

    For department and class trips, please call or email the parking office at least one week in advance of departure as lots close occasionally for events – we will work with you and your group regarding lot location and information to give travelers.

    Note: Camper/Trailer parking is permitted in daytime hours only in the east end of lot N (parking map), truck and trailer must remain hitched, and overnight parking/camping is not allowed. If more than one parking stall is needed, please park perpendicular, taking only two stalls and for easier pull-through.

    I have an electric vehicle, do you have EV Charging on campus?

    At this time campus does not have charging stations for electric vehicles, but the University is looking into the possibility of EV Chargers in the future.

    NOTE: Electrical outlets around campus (i.e. outside building, palm tree lighting, etc.) are not equipped for EV charging and plugging a vehicle in to charge is prohibited.

    If I am a student that also works on campus why can’t I park in a Faculty/Staff (yellow) stall?

    Your student status takes precedence. Your permit options are Student, Housing if living in on campus UT housing, and Economy Lots (see parking map for locations), and Student parking stalls across campus are marked with white pavement striping.

    Can I park in a visitor stall, even for a short amount of time, if I am a student or employee?

    No, visitor spaces are reserved for those that are not currently enrolled or employed by the university. Students and employees are not permitted to use these stalls at any time for any length of time.

    NOTE: These stalls are constantly monitored and any student, faculty, or staff vehicle found parked in a Visitor stall will receive a citation for Parking in a Visitor Reserved Stall.

    Can I park along a curb on campus if there are no parking stall markings?

    Parking is permitted in parking stalls only, indicated by stall markings on both sides or front and back of the vehicle.

    How do I avoid a parking citation while loading/unloading in a No Parking Zone?

    To show valid need to temporarily park in a no parking zone to load/unload, leave your emergency flashers on for the duration. This indicates you will return shortly to move the vehicle.

    NOTE: Parking in front of or within 15 feet of a fire hydrant is never permitted (Utah State Code 41-6a-1401), and the vehicle may not be parked in a manner that obstructs emergency vehicle access.

    I received a citation for No Parking Permit, can the ticket be voided for a parking permit purchase?

    Parking Services may be able to offer an Agreement for the first citation given for No Parking Permit within the same academic year if the agreed upon permit is purchased within one (1) week of citation date. Please contact us by Email at ParkingOffice@utahtech.edu for agreement details. (updated Fall 2024)

    LEARN MORE

    What happens if I get a citation and don't pay it?

    Each citation is entered into a computer database that tracks them. If a citation is not cleared by an appeal filed within 15 days or by payment within 30 days of issue, a $25 late fee will be charged. If the citation is not cleared, it goes to a delinquent fines list. Students who have not cleared citations will be subject to a registration, graduation, and/or transcript hold. In the case that the owner/driver of a vehicle cannot be matched to a student or employee, the registered owner of the vehicle will be responsible for and receive a mailed copy of the citation.

    LEARN MORE

    I have a hold on my account, what can I do to clear the hold to register, get transcripts, and graduate?

    Payment of fines and fees will release holds on your account. The holds release process runs overnight; for example, if the fine is paid anytime before 12:00 midnight MST, the hold will release early AM the following day. If you would like to request a same-day hold release, please contact our office before closing time (holidays and breaks may affect these hours) as we may be able to manually release the hold.

    Registration: University balances below $200 will allow registration. If the balance is above $200 payment must be made to bring the balance under $200 and release the Over $200 hold.

    Transcripts and Graduation: University balances must be paid and at 0 to release the hold.

    Why do I have to have a parking permit?

    It helps us to distinguish between faculty and staff, students, and visitors, and allows us to enforce the reserved areas and keep them open for those who need them. The permits also allow us to identify individual vehicles for the purpose of providing security to those on campus at any given moment, as well as to provide courtesy services (to notify; those who may accidentally leave their lights on, owners of vehicles who may have rolled out of a parking stall, etc.).

    What are permit funds used for?

    All parking permit funds go towards infrastructure improvement projects such as parking lot improvements and maintenance (paint, signage, curbing, resurfacing, etc.), addition and completion of new parking lots, and funding for parking garages – as this is not allocated by the state and must be put forth by the institution.
