Student Contracts

University Village Resident parking
Graduate Students parking

Standard Semester Contract
Full-time student parking contracts are available each semester through an online lottery. Students may enter the lottery each semester, but entering does not guarantee a parking contract. Contracts are good for one semester only. Locations vary but always include spaces on each campus.

Lottery Sign-Up

Fall Semester 2012 -- Through midnight on July 22
Spring Semester 2013 -- October 29 through November 25 (midnight)

STUDENT PARKING CONTRACT LOTTERY
The lottery is unavailable each night from 1-5 am for server maintenance.

Contract Features

• Access to your assigned facility 24/7. (At most locations. Contract holders without 24/7 access in their assigned facility are provided with evening and weekend access at a nearby location.)
• Unlimited entry and exit.
• Easy convenient payment through the student accounts receivable (SAR) system.

Cost
Lots – $65.50 per month; Ramps – $97.25 per month; Garages – $127.25 per month.

How It Works

1. Log into the lottery sign-up using your University Internet ID and password.
2. The system will automatically designate you as either a commuter or residence hall student.
1. Commuter students select up to three contract locations.
2. Residence hall student parking is assigned based on hall location.
3. Submit your application.

Lottery Method
The lottery is conducted in two rounds. In the first round, names are selected on the day after the lottery sign-up closes. Selected students will receive an e-mail notification by noon. The dates for each round and the deadlines to respond are outlined in the Terms and Conditions.

Students who accept a parking contract will immediately receive a purchase confirmation e-mail. The fee for the semester will be automatically charged to your university student account.

Prior to the start of the semester, commuter students will receive their keycard/hangtag by mail at the address listed on their lottery application. Residence hall students will pick up their keycard/hangtag at their hall on move-in day.

Unclaimed contracts from the first round will be drawn again in the second round of the lottery. Any remaining unclaimed contracts will go on sale at the PTS customer service desk the week before the start of the semester (January 14, 2013). There is always contract space available in the State Fairgrounds lot for commuter students (this can be conveniently purchased through the lottery or by coming into the PTS office).

Students may review their status in the lottery at any time by logging into the system. Results from each of the drawing dates are available online by noon of that day. At the conclusion of the lottery, all students not selected for a parking contract will be notified of their status by e-mail.

NEW! Renewal Process For Graduate Students
Graduate students can now renew their parking contract for spring and summer semesters online.

The Website will start taking renewal requests on April 1 for the summer. The deadline to renew for summer is 11:59 p.m. on May 3, 2013.

Renew Online Now

Reminder! Each fall semester, the process begins anew and ALL students must re-enter the lottery at the top of this page.

Your odds are that about 2 out of every 3 students get a parking contract. Good luck!
