2023/2024 Student Waitlist
As the permits are canceled and become available, the waitlists are used as a source to redistribute these permits. Waitlists open September 19th and run through April 1st. Signing up for a waitlist does not guarantee you a permit as they are issued on the basis of availability, eligibility, and waitlist rank. You will be notified by email when and if a permit becomes available for you. A change in student status and/or residential housing status may affect your eligibility for a waitlist. If you sign up for a waitlist that you are not eligible for, you will automaticaly be removed.
There are two types of waitlists: New Purchase Waitlist and a Permit Exchange Waitlists.
NEW PURCHASE WAITLIST
The new purchase waitlist is for students that wish to purchase an annual permit once the lots have filled. Permit awards will be assigned according to availability, housing assignments, eligibility, and waitlist rank.
| Waitlist Name | Housing Requirement | Permit Holders Only |
| 23/24 New Purchase | Optional | No |
PERMIT EXCHANGE WAITLIST
Each waitlist has requirements for eligibility depending on the lot type, a student's housing status, and permit status. The permit exchange waitlists require a student to already hold an annual parking permit for the current year. Waitlists for residential lots require a housing contract where as waitlists for non residential lots do not.
