UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Student parking registration for summer 2017 will be available exclusively online on the following dates:

  • Tuesday, May 2 (Maymester, Summer Session I, or all sessions)
  • Sunday, June 25 (Summer Session II only)

All students, regardless of semester standing, are eligible to register for summer parking.

Requirements

  • Active Penn State ID and Access account
  • 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.

All summer student parking permits must be picked up in person at the Parking Office, located at 1 Eisenhower Parking Deck. The office is open weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and students must show their Penn State ID to receive the permit. Upon receipt, 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 registering online 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 the Parking Office for assistance.
