Parking permits
Parking permits for the 2024-2025 academic year are now available for preorder. There is no increase in cost.
These permits are part of the License Plate Recognition system; vehicle license plates serve as permit identification.
Annual permits take effect July 1. Nine-month permits are effective beginning August 19.
A parking permit is required for any vehicle parked in designated areas of the Lincoln campus.
To be included in the License Plate Recognition parking permit system, faculty and staff must register their vehicles online and pay designated permit fees. The vehicle is then eligible to park in assigned campus areas.

Permit holders for surface lots will not automatically receive a physical permit or sticker to display in the vehicle.
With the exception of the 19th and Vine Street garage, a garage hang tag accompanies each garage parking permit. Garage permit hang tags contain RFID which uses radio frequency signals to operate gate readers. Each tag is valid only in the assigned garage. It will be mailed to the address provided during purchase.
Surface lot and 19th and Vine Street garage permit holders can request a Permit Event Sticker. It verifies License Plate Recognition system participation for parking attendants and must be displayed for parking during major campus events, including state high school championships and home football games. There is no additional cost for the sticker.
To receive the Permit Event Sticker, use your official UNL email account and send a request to Parking and Transit Services at unlpts@unl.edu
It will be mailed to your campus address.
With the exception of the 19th and Vine Street garage, all other garage permit holders do not need an event sticker, but should display their garage permit for campus event parking.
