Parking Registration Status

My student classification doesn't reflect my proper year when I log in to register for my permit. Why is that and what can I do about it?

Student classification in permit registration is captured three times: at the beginning, in the middle and at the end. If you meet the number of hours to move to the next student classification group at the end of the spring semester, it will be updated after the mid-point update. If you meet the requirements for the next classification after the end of the first summer session, your status will be updated at the end of the registration period. Since permits are assigned in early July for next year, students whose classification changes due to hours completed in the second summer session will be assigned a permit based on their summer classification.

For a few students such as those graduating in May and continuing on as a graduate student, or freshmen moving to sophomore status once their hours from the spring semester are posted, the lots available will change after the mid-point classification update.

Log back in after the first week of June to check for new lots available. For example, freshmen are not eligible to choose Lot 50, but upperclassmen can. Undergraduate students are not eligible to select Lot 51, but graduate students may. You will not lose your place in line by re-registering in June. Customers may register and make changes as many times as they like during the registration period. The LAST registration submitted prior to the close of registration will supersede all others and be the one used during the permit assignment process.

I registered more than once and have more than one confirmation number. What should I do? Will I be charged for more than one permit?

No action is necessary on your part. Customers may register and make changes as many times as they like during the registration period. The LAST registration submitted prior to the close of registration will supersede all others and be the one used during the permit assignment process. Faculty, staff, and students are only eligible to receive, and will only be charged for one permit.

One of the addresses you have on file for me is incorrect. How can I change it?

Address information is updated on a daily basis directly from your records with A&M. Updating your address information with the officially designated university entity will automatically update the address you selected for permit delivery unless you typed in an ALTERNATE ADDRESS. If you entered an ALTERNATE ADDRESS and want to change it, you MUST LOGIN TO MY ACCOUNT TO UPDATE YOUR MAILING ADDRESS SELECTION before registration closes.

Students: You may login to https://howdy.tamu.edu to make changes to your personal information.

Faculty and Staff: You may login to https://sso.tamus.edu to make changes to your personal information.

Compass USA Employees: You may contact your Human Resources Office to make changes to your personal information.

Employees working on campus not listed above: Your employer intermittently provides us with files with your address information. Please check your delivery address in the permit confirmation emailed to you in July and follow the instructions to update it, if needed.

PLEASE NOTE: Automatic address changes will not be updated in the registration system until registration closes on July 9, 2024. If you change the address you choose with the officially designated university entity, your permit delivery address will also be updated. A final email will be sent July 13, 2024, with confirmation of your delivery address. You will be allowed to modify until noon on July 19, 2024. If you create an alternate delivery address, the only way to update the address will be to log back in to Parking Registration to replace or correct it.

When will I be notified of my parking assignment?

You will receive an email July 13, 2024 and/or may log on to My Account to view your parking assignment, cancel your permit request or change your waitlist.

How can I check on the status of my parking assignment after the registration period has closed?

Visit My Account to view your assignment beginning July 13, 2024.

I don’t read email. How can I be sure that the parking office has received my registration?

The last step of the online process provides a confirmation number. Print this page for your records indicating the confirmation number.

What do I do if I exchanged my current parking permit after I completed online registration?

Your online registration record reflects the last online request you made. If you exchange your permit for a new one after you register, the cashier handling your permit exchange will cancel your registration and request to renew your new permit.

What do I do if I didn't receive my 2024–2025 physical permit or access device hangtag in the mail?

For access to your garage or gated facility you may scan the barcode at the bottom of the landing page on My Account at the appropriate gates. Faculty and staff may also swipe your Aggie ID.

From August 10-August 8, 2025, log in and click the permit link (nine-digit permit number beginning with a "2") in the My Permits section. Print the receipt. This will serve as a temporary permit or access device until you receive your permanent hangtag in the mail. This receipt (temporary permit/access device) is valid for 14 days from the purchase date or until August 26, 2024 (whichever date comes later).

If you do not receive your hangtag in the mail by August 26 and your 14 days have expired for your temporary permit/access device, bring your picture ID to Polo Rd. Building, Suite 350 between August 5 and August 26, 2024 , to file the permit as lost and receive a replacement at no charge. If you wait until after August 26, 2024 to file a permit lost that you did not receive in the mail, you will incur a $10 replacement fee.

If I report my permit lost what do I do if it is found?

Immediately return the found permit to Transportation Services at Polo Rd. Building, Suite 350. (Use of a permit that is filed as lost will result in ticketing and towing.)

How and when will I receive my physical permit or access device hangtag?

Your permit or access device will be mailed between July 22 and August 1, 2024, to the address you requested during registration. Delivery may take up to 10 days.

My permit or access device is being sent home and I need it here. What do I do?

For access to your garage or gated facility you may scan the barcode at the bottom of the landing page on My Account at the appropriate gates. Faculty and staff may also swipe your Aggie ID.

Before July 9, 2024
Login to My Account and change the delivery address.

After July 9, 2024
You must coordinate getting your hangtag from the address it was mailed to.
