How to Register for a Parking Permit
Parking permits for graduate students are available for online purchase by visiting this page. 

Your Duke NetID and password are required to gain access to on-line registration for your 2012-2013 parking permit. 

If you plan to renew your 2012 permit, you may go on-line at any time after July 18, 2012.

If you do not have a parking permit or plan to change parking locations, you may purchase a permit on-line beginning at 10:00 a.m. (EST), Monday, June 18.  General availability permits will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis.  When spaces in a particular lot are no longer available, "SOLD OUT" will appear on the permit selection screen.  The following permits will be sold to graduate students on a first-come, first-served basis:

Which Lots Should I Choose?
The lots with the greatest availability at the beginning of the academic year are Smith Warehouse, Mill, Hock, Pegram (East Campus), Central Campus and Yellow Zone. 

If You are Already on a Waitlist 
There are a limited number of Circuit and Green Zone spaces available this year which will be allocated via waitlist invitations.  Due to the significant holdover requests for these zones, no Circuit or Green Zone permits will be offered to those signing up for waitlists this summer.  If you are already on the Circuit or Green Zone waitlist, please do not remove yourself from the waitlist unless you no longer desire that parking.  To join a waitlist, visit this page.

Permit Payment
Parking fees are billed to student Bursar accounts.  No other method of payment is accepted.

Vehicle Registration
Students who do not have a vehicle when they purchase a permit may enter their Duke Unique ID number in the license information section of the permit order form. When a vehicle and permanent license plate are obtained, students must update vehicle records within 10 business days. 

How to Obtain Your Parking Permit
Parking permits purchased online will be mailed to addresses within the continental United States within seven to ten business days.

When to Display Parking Permit
Permits should be displayed on vehicles on August 16.  Parking Zone enforcement will begin on September 1.

Accessible Parking
Students with permanent physical disabilities must request consideration for handicapped parking each year by filling out an application form and forwarding copies to the Disability Management System.

Evening and Weekend Access to Parking Lots
Your DukeCard (not the Parking Permit) provides access to many parking lots after 5:00 p.m. weekdays and on weekends all year long, excluding times when lots are reserved for events.  When attending a special event on campus, your permit allows free parking in lots designated for the general public.

Cost-Saving Alternatives to Driving Alone
