More than 400 students have already registered vehicles for next year. Have YOU? It's best to register now so you don’t forget after May Term. The process only takes a minute or two!
Why register now?
- Avoid the $30 late registration fee. Any vehicle registered after June 26 incurs that fee.
- Get a parking voucher, good for one ticket.
- Maximize the chances of being assigned to the parking lot of your choice. Not registering guarantees you’ll be assigned to D Lot.
