| How does the wait list work? |
The wait list maintains the lot choices you provided during web registration. The order of your lot choices matters. Your first choices should be the lot you want most and sixth choice the one you least want. The wait list always tries to assign the highest wait list choice. You will remain on the wait list for the choices above the one you received. Examples – if you get your 1st choice – then you are no longer on any wait list. If you get your 2nd choice – then you are on the wait list for 1st choice only. If you get your 6th choice – then you are on the wait list for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th choices. |
| What if I don’t get any of my choices? |
During the registration process, you will be given the opportunity to select one of six options so that we will know your preference if you don’t get any of your choices: 1) don’t give me a permit at all 2) issue me a Lot 100 permit 3) issue me a WCG permit 4) issue me a night permit 5) issue me a motorcycle permit 6) issue me a permit for my old lot (if you have a current year permit). You will be notified by email when a lot on your wait list has space and a permit is available.
Transportation Services will not assign you to a lot you did not request. |
| I did not receive my first choice. When can I get it and how will I be notified? |
Once your name comes to the top of the list for your preferred lot, you will be notified via an email sent to your TAMU Email account and will be given a deadline to purchase the permit. You can view your progress online via the parking registration page. For future assignment and notification dates, please view the Wait List Move Calendar. Other information on this page may help you to determine how long it may take for you to receive your preferred lot. |
Does my position on the current wait list effect my position on the 2009-10 wait list?
|
No. The current wait list will be reset with the parking request from fall 2010 registration. All wait lists will be reset annually. |

| I have a permit for a lot with residential priority (Lots 30 and 40, Northside Garage, Southside Garage) but won't be living on-campus next year. Will I be guaranteed to renew my permit? |
No. Non-resident undergraduate students currently assigned to park in Northside Garage, Southside Garage, Lot 40 or Lot 30 will not be eligible to renew these permits; customers in this situation may register for the permit they have for the current year but will not be guaranteed to renew. They will be added to the list according to the priority assignment process, option #5 which read:
Current parking permit holders, who request to be assigned to a different lot, and who register via the web by July 15, 2009. Assignments will be made in this priority category in current class standing order on a space available basis.
Non-resident undergraduate students with West Campus Resident permits will not be eligible to renew these permits; these customers may still obtain a permit for West Campus Garage but will not be issued the resident permit that affords home football game day parking. |
