First, there was the freshman season football ticket fiasco in June. Now, students are having difficulty buying on-campus parking permits for the upcoming year.

Registration for parking permits opened at 8 a.m. today, but students were unable to access the website due to server errors.

Anybody else having trouble getting on the student parking website? They go on sale today… @OnwardState@DailyCollegian@penn_state
