Eligibility

Back to Question List

Who is eligible to purchase parking permits?	Faculty, staff, students, contractors, service providers, vendors, and visitors are eligible to purchase annual parking permits or daily parking permits valid in an assigned area of campus.
Who is eligible for web-based registration?	Faculty, staff, students, contractors, service providers, vendors, and visitors are eligible for web-based parking permit registration. See Registration Dates for registration periods.
Why am I receiving parking registration emails from Transportation Services when I have not yet received an acceptance letter from the university or have not yet decided to attend A&M?	Parking registration emails are sent to all undergraduate applicants since many will attend A&M Univeristy and are anxious to know how to make parking arrangements. The emails are not an indication of acceptance by the university. If you no longer want to receive the emails, follow the link within the registration email, log in, then click the option "I do not want a permit". This will remove your name from the mailing list.
Am I required to register via the web?	All faculty, staff, students, contractors, service providers, vendors, and visitors who would like to renew their parking permit should do so online. Students must have applied to the University and have activated their NEO account. Faculty and staff may contact their parking representative for assistance in registering.
What do I do if I am not eligible?	There are no customer groups who are ineligible to purchase a parking permit. Individuals who have accounts with outstanding balances will be prevented from purchasing a permit until the balance is cleared.
Can I pre-register for a motorcycle permit on the web?	Yes, customers may select a motorcycle permit as their 1st or 7th choices during the registration period, April 16 - July 16 at 5 p.m. Motorcycle permits may also be purchased online beginning August 1; customers who want a motorcycle permit in addition to a lot specific permit should plan to purchase the motorcycle permit using this method. There is no wait list and we do not sell out of this type of permit.
Can I pre-register for a night permit on the web?	Yes, customers may select Night permit as their 1st or 7th choices during the registration period, April 16 - July 15 at 5 p.m. Night permits may also be purchased online beginning August 1. There is no wait list and we do not sell out of this type of permit.
Who is eligible for disabled persons permits?	TAMU does not issue disabled parking permits. Customers may take medical certification of disability to the tax office in their county to request a disabled parking permit or license plate. Customers who have a valid county-issued disabled permit or license plate (including disabled veteran license plates) may park in any designated handicap parking space, or any other non-restricted parking space, with a valid disabled permit/license plate and a valid TAMU parking permit. Both permits must be displayed to be authorized to park. Disabled customers who do not have a valid TAMU parking permit but do have a valid county-issued disabled permit or license plate (including disabled veteran license plates) displayed may pay to park in any of our visitor parking facilities and make use of designated handicap parking spaces or other non-restricted parking spaces within the visitor facility. The ONLY person authorized to park within the guidelines of the disabled policy detailed above is the person to whom the disabled parking permit/license plate is issued.
I am going to be enrolled for an out-of-town internship or co-op program during the fall semester and will not need a parking permit until the spring. What should I do?	Do not register for parking now. When you are ready to return to TAMU, email parking@tamu.edu to request a parking assignment. After verifying your enrollment in a university-affiliated co-op/internship for the 07C term, you will be assigned parking according to your class standing and your parking preferences.
