Permit Sales
You may purchase your 2012-2013 permit on-line beginning June 18 10:00 a.m. (EST).  To purchase your permit, log in using your NetID and then select "Purchase Permit" at this page: Manage My Parking Account.

Waitlists
Graduate students may sign up for a maximum of two parking waitlists for lots where permits may become available during the academic year.  The waitlists are used to allocate parking permits on a first-come, first-served basis.  Make waitlist selections at "Manage My Parking Account".

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.

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 August 16.  Parking zone enforcement will begin on September 1.

Evening and Weekend Access to Parking Lots
Your DukeCard 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.

Carpools & Rideshares
Please consider carpools, rideshares, GoPass and other cost-saving and environmentally friendly alternatives to single occupancy vehicles. Our Alternative Transportation page offers more information.

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.
