Parking permits

ASU offers a variety of parking and permit options to support the different types of commuters coming onto ASU campuses. Sustainable commuter groups may purchase a High Occupancy Vehicle | HOV permit with special benefits and rewards. 

Permits do not reserve a parking spot but allow for parking in a specific location. Parking permit prices are based on the facility's proximity to campus destinations. Each campus offers tiered permit rates that range in price.

Purchase a permit

If you have forgotten your permit, contact PTS. 

Permits are always required on campus, with the exception of university holidays, excluding semester and summer break. Contact PTS for additional assistance. 

Parking and Transportation Services will notify permit holders in advance if their parking location will be affected by construction or maintenance. PTS will also email permit holders if there is a sudden, unexpected disruption to service. Permit holders are given advanced notice to renew their permits annually.

ASU encourages the use of sustainable transportation through discounts and services, such as bike, campus shuttles and public transit on light rail and Valley Metro buses. 

Commuter  vs. Residence hall permit

Only students living in an on-campus residence hall can purchase residence hall permits that allow for overnight parking. Restrictions apply and are explained to customers upon purchase. 

Residence hall permits are not renewable. Commuters can renew their permits for the same location during the renewal period. 

Residence hall students can purchase their parking permit in advance of commuters when new sales begin in July.

Leave of absence 

If taking a leave of absence, email PTS of your pending departure that include the start and end date of your leave. Acceptable leaves include student exchange, medical, military and sabbaticals. Return parking permits and gate cards before departure. 

A prorated refund will be issued per permit refund schedule through March 15. Refunds are not applicable to payroll deduction permits. 

Upon returning to campus, you may purchase a permit in your previously assigned garage or lot at a prorated price, subject to availability.

Refunds and renewals

Refunds 

Refunds are prorated based on when Parking and Transportation Services receives the permit, the identifiable remnant, gate card or transit pass.
