Departmental Parking Permits

Departments may purchase parking permits for vehicles that park on campus. Permits will be issued based on the need and use of the vehicle. Departments may use Service Unit Billing for payment of permits. Service Unit Billing CANNOT be used to purchase individual employee permits.

Guest Permits

Departments may purchase permits online for their invited guests. Departments may also authorize invited guests to purchase a parking permit online. For more information, contact David Gregory david_gregory@ncsu.edu
