Student Contracts

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.

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 students indicate their cost preference.
  3. Submit your application.

Lottery Method
The lottery is conducted in three 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 and third rounds of the lottery. Any remaining unclaimed contracts will go on sale at the PTS customer service desk (main office) the week before the start of the semester (January 12 for Spring 2009).

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.
