Summer 2023 parking registration will open for all students on the Transportation Services website beginning at noon on May 8.

Students who require a parking permit for Summer Session II may wait to purchase a permit until Monday, June 26, to avoid paying for parking during Summer Session I.

However, students who purchase a permit before June 26 will be responsible for the applicable permit fee even if the permit is only used during Summer Session II.

General Registration Information

Students will be able to print out and use a temporary parking permit after their purchase for immediate parking. If the option is not available after purchasing, students are able to print out a temporary parking permit on their account dashboard.

Students can pick up their permanent parking permit from the Transportation Services office located at 1 Eisenhower Deck beginning two business days after they complete their parking permit purchase online.

You must bring your Penn State ID to receive your parking permit.

If issues arise during registration, exit the website and contact Transportation Services for assistance at [email protected] or (814) 865-1436.
