PERMIT PARKING
How to Order Your Parking Permit
Current parking permit rates for the 2026-2027 school year are:
- All Students — $260 per semester (overnight parking is available for commuters for an additional fee)
- Employee/Faculty/Staff — $469 annually
- Administrative Reserved — $699 annually
Faculty and staff may choose to pay for their permit using payroll deduction. Employee permits through payroll deduction will use pre-taxed dollars, reducing the net amount you pay for parking, based upon an individual’s tax bracket.
PURCHASING A PERMIT
All permits are valid for a fixed period of time and may be purchased at any time of year by visiting our vPermit portal.
Semester permits are valid for a specific time period specified at the time of purchase. Refunds for student permits are not available after the university’s indicated add/drop date for the semester in which permits are purchased, which is currently 14 days into a semester. There may be a need to change permit type at some point during the permit year; to make such a change, customers must email the UAkronPark office at info@UAkronPark.com.
When customers check out, they are prompted to agree to terms and conditions, which includes information about rules and regulations. Beyond the extensive communication about proper and expected usage, permit holders cannot obtain a permit without encountering all the information necessary to park within the rules for the operation.
