Everyone who parks at the University of Central Florida, Orlando, must display a valid parking permit.

Due to the limited amount of parking spaces, we encourage everyone to use public transportation or car pool with someone. Monthly LYNX (bus) passes are sold to students at a discount. Student parking is available on a first come/first served basis and does not guarantee a parking space, however we do our best to provide a space for everyone. Daily permit holders may not park overnight.

Why Do I Have to Buy A Parking Permit?
The price of a parking permit is a "user" fee that authorizes the purchaser to park on the University of Central Florida's property. The fees go to Parking Services, which is a self-supporting entity that relies solely on these fees for all construction, maintenance, and operation of the University's parking facilities.

The parking permit indicates that the required fees have been paid for use of the parking facilities. All vehicles that are parked on the University campus must display a parking permit unless parked in a metered space.

It is the customer's obligation to use the permit in accordance with the University's Parking and Traffic Rules and Regulations.

The parking permit is authorized only for the registered vehicle, and is not transferable to another vehicle unless the permit is a hangtag. Parking permits are authorized for the individuals by or for whom they are purchased. They are not to be transferred to other individuals.

How Do I Display My Permit?
The permit is not considered valid unless it is suspended, face out, from the rear view mirror on the inside of the vehicle, if a hangtag, or affixed to the driver's side rear window or bumper, if a decal. Instructions for the proper mounting/displaying of the permit are printed on the reverse side.

What If All of The Spaces are Full?
A parking permit does not guarantee the holder a specific parking space on University property, or in a specific area on the campus. It only provides the opportunity to legally park on the campus, and within an area designated for the particular permit type.

Drivers are responsible for finding an authorized parking space. The lack of an available parking space in a desired area, the existence of inclement weather while parking, or other conditions or circumstance, do not justify parking illegally or counter to the University's existing rules and regulations.

Can I Park in Other UCF Parking Facilities After 5:00 p.m. Weekdays and Weekends?

Students and staff may park in these two lots after 7:00 pm weekends. Weekends from 7:00 am Saturday to 7:00 am Monday morning students and staff may park in unreserved spaces within faculty lots.

I am a Dorm Student - How Do I Get Parking and How Much Do I Pay?
Parking around the dorms is available in the student lots. Dorm residents may purchase a student parking permit and park in any student lot or parking garage.

Is It Okay If I Park Here?
Only if it is marked (striped) space if on a paved lot or in a parking garage, or designated by the existence of a wheel-stop or posts if in an unpaved lot. Parking is not permitted in areas not clearly identified as parking spaces.

A general rule of thumb to follow " 'Is there a white line on each side of my car,' or 'Is there a post or a wheel-stop in front of my car' "? Areas not specifically designated as parking spaces are considered "No Parking" areas, and vehicles parked otherwise are most likely illegally parked.

In other words, if you are not sure if it's a parking space, it's probably not one! Also, the absence of "No Parking" signs or markings does not always mean the area or space is legal
