Dear Students,
This is a reminder to activate your virtual parking permit for the 2022 -- 2023 academic year if you have not done so already. All students must have a valid permit when they arrive on campus; those who park on campus without a valid permit will be issued a citation.
- New Students: Please go to the UMBC Parking Services Portal, register your vehicle(s), and activate your virtual permit.
- Returning Students: Please go to the UMBC Parking Services Portal to review your account for any outstanding fines, verify/update your vehicle information, and activate your new virtual permit.
Registering your vehicle is not the same as getting a permit. Once vehicles are registered, please click on the "Get Permit" button. Parking permits must be renewed every August prior to the start of the new academic year. You may register up to three vehicles. However, you may only have one vehicle on campus at a time. Once you have registered your vehicle, please click on the "Get Permit" button. Failure to complete this step means no permit has been issued to you and as a result, you may be issued a citation.
Parking Permit Overview
Student parking permits are assigned as follows:
- Zone A (red): Commuter students
- Zone B (green): Walker Avenue apartment residents
- Zone C (gold): Residential students with 30 or more credits
- Zone F (orange): First-year residential students and returning residential students with less than 30 credits are eligible for an "F" permit and are required to park in the Satellite Lot on South Rolling Road during the hours of 9 a.m. -- 4 p.m., Monday -- Friday. UMBC Transit will provide shuttle service to and from the Satellite Lot.
Please check out this UMBC parking zone map to verify the locations of spaces in your zone.
