Parking

Section 51.207 of the Texas Education Code allows the University of Texas at Dallas to restrict parking on our campus to vehicles with a parking permit or pass from the University, and to issue citations to vehicles that do not have a current parking permit or pass. It also requires UT Dallas to enforce Texas vehicle inspection laws.

General Parking Permit Information

Buying a Permit

Parking permits are available to all current UT Dallas visitors, students, faculty, and staff. You can buy a permit in-person from the Parking Office or you can buy your permit online. Students can purchase Orange, Evening Orange, Gold, or Green parking permits. On-campus residents who will have a vehicle on campus are required to purchase their respective housing permit. Housing students are allowed to purchase a “combo” Housing and commuter Orange or Gold permit so they may park in commuter spaces on campus during the day. Housing students can only park overnight in their respective residential lots. Parking overnight in commuter parking spaces or parking garages is strictly prohibited. On-campus residents are only allowed to purchase one parking permit and may only park one vehicle on campus at any given time. Faculty and staff can purchase Purple, Orange, Evening Orange, Gold, or Green parking permits. Accessible parking permits are also available (see below). Please note, the Parking Office accepts credit and debit cards, but not cash or checks at this time.

A permit can be purchased as soon as a customer has access to their Parking Account. Commuter students, faculty, and staff may park in Green parking without a permit from the first day of class until Census Day. This grace period only applies to the Fall and Spring semesters. The Summer semester requires a permit at all times. On-campus residents may park in their respective housing lot without a permit from the scheduled University Housing move-in dates until Census Day. With the exception of the Grace period for Green and housing areas, all other parking areas will be enforced throughout the year.

You must purchase a parking permit before the Spring or Fall Census Day to avoid citations.

You can register your vehicles to your Virtual Permit through the online Parking Portal. To register a vehicle online, log in to your MyParking account and select the vehicles tab. You will then be able to add a vehicle by entering the license plate and other vehicle details. Students may register two (2) vehicles to their virtual permit. Employees may register five (5) vehicles to their virtual permit; however, only one vehicle can be parked on campus at any given time. Parking more than one vehicle on campus at one time may lead to citations.

A permit must be purchased and linked to your vehicle before parking on campus to avoid citations. You may add vehicles to your permit at anytime online via the MyParking portal, but you must contact our office at park@utdallas.edu to remove vehicles. Vehicles may only be registered to one customer. If your vehicle is already in the system due to citations or because it has been registered to another customer, you will not be able to add the vehicle to your account. You must contact our office at park@utdallas.edu to have the license plate verified for registration. Please note vehicles can be requested to be updated up to three times per semester. Exchanging vehicles on your permit more frequently may be denied.

Parking permits may not be purchased, transferred or obtained from any source or party other than the UT Dallas Parking and Transportation Office. Displaying or registering a parking permit that belongs to another customer is strictly prohibited and may lead to vehicle immobilization and additional fees and penalties.

Students, faculty, or staff from other UT System institutions may submit their University parking permit receipt to the Parking & Transportation Office via email to be issued a comparable reciprocal UTD permit. The email request must be sent from your UT institution email address, and the receipt must display your name, date of purchase, and the amount paid for your permit.

Returning a Permit

Students

If you are a student who is graduating or leaving the University at the end of the Fall semester, you may request to cancel (deactivate) your parking permit privileges on or before the Spring Census Day for a prorated refund. If you are withdrawing from the University or decide you no longer need your permit, you may return the permit within 10 days from the date of purchase for a full refund.

To upgrade your permit, you will have to pay the price difference between the permit you previously owned and the upgraded permit that you want to buy.

To downgrade your permit, you will be refunded the difference between current value of the permit you previously owned and the downgraded permit that you want to buy.

Students who move between University Village Apartments, Canyon Creek Heights Apartments or University Commons Residence Halls must request to exchange their current parking permit for the permit appropriate for their new residence; this exchange is free of charge. Students transitioning between commuter and on-campus resident must also request to exchange their permit. This permit will be assigned for a permit of equal value, free of charge.

You can cancel, upgrade, downgrade or exchange your permit by contacting park@utdallas.edu and requesting a permit return form.

Faculty & Staff

If you are a faculty or staff member, you may request to cancel (deactivate) your parking permit privileges if you are exiting the University or decide you no longer need your permit. You may inquire about your eligibility for a prorated refund based on your original permit purchase method. Please note that for permits purchased via Payroll Deduction, we deduct from your paycheck the month after the service use so you may not qualify for a refund.

To upgrade your permit, you will have the option to pay the price difference between the permit you previously purchased and the upgraded permit that you want to buy as a one-time payment via credit/debit card. Please note that for permits purchased via Payroll Deduction, after the enrollment period for payroll deduction closes, we are only able to cancel future deductions, and cannot modify current deduction amounts.

To downgrade your permit, you will be refunded the difference between current value of the permit you previously owned and the downgraded permit that you want to buy. Please note that for permits purchased via Payroll Deduction, after the enrollment period for payroll deduction closes, we are only able to cancel future deductions, and cannot modify current deduction amounts.

Downgrades need to be calculated to determine the value used, minus the amount paid, then apply any overpayment to the current permit price, which is then paid out of pocket. This means your permit would then be paid in full with no future deductions, which leads to a lower payment overall.

You can cancel, upgrade, downgrade, or exchange your permit by contacting park@utdallas.edu and requesting a permit return form.

Virtual Parking Permits and LPR [License Plate Recognition]

UT Dallas is now utilizing virtual permits for all parking options on campus. This system utilizes License Plate Recognition (LPR [License Plate Recognition] ) and will identify your vehicle by its license plate. This system removes the need for physical stickers and allows all permit holders to easily add and maintain vehicles on their accounts.

License Plate Recognition (LPR [License Plate Recognition] ) is camera-based technology that quickly scans multiple vehicle license plates. This technology allows us to transition to virtual permits by allowing a vehicle’s license plate to serve in place of a sticker or decal permit. LPR cameras can scan your license plate to check if you have appropriate parking permissions, which eliminates the need to place a physical permit on your windshield. LPR is a mobile system that uses vehicle-mounted cameras to scan license plates and verify virtual permits in all lots and garages on campus.

Virtual Permits will be beneficial to our campus as they eliminate the need to move your permit between multiple vehicles. They also support sustainability by reducing paper usage, ink, and plastic used for permit distribution and postage.

You may add vehicles to your permit at anytime online via the MyParking portal, but you must contact our office at park@utdallas.edu to remove vehicles. Please note vehicles can be requested to be updated up to three times per semester. Exchanging vehicles on your permit more frequently may be denied.

All virtual permits are non-transferable and can only be used by the individual to whom it is assigned. Permit sharing is prohibited and may lead to parking citations and/or vehicle immobilization.

It is essential that all vehicle information is kept up-to-date to avoid receiving an unnecessary citation. Please log into your parking account to update your information immediately after any change to your license plate or vehicle. In the event that you drive a different vehicle to campus, you will also need to ensure that it is currently registered to your permit.

Accessible Permit

The International Symbol of Access

To use one of the Accessible parking spaces on campus, you must already own a State of Texas Accessible license plate/placard, and you must purchase a UT Dallas Accessible permit. When purchasing your permit:

If you use a state-issued placard, please present either the original, a photocopy, or picture of your placard via email to park@utdallas.edu for validation.
If you use an state-issued license plate or a Disabled Veterans plate that features the International Symbol of Access (ISA [International Symbol of Access] ), please submit documentation either in person or via email to park@utdallas.edu for validation. Documentation can be the tax receipt for your plate, a photo of your license plate, or any certified government document in your name with your plate number listed.

Once your Accessible parking credentials are validated, you will be able to see the Accessible parking permit option available for purchase online.

Accessible Parking Spaces (PDF [Portable Document Format File] )

If Accessible spaces are not available, anyone with a state-issued C or Disabled Veterans plate that features the International Symbol of Access (ISA [International Symbol of Access] ), or a state-issued Accessible placard, and displaying a UTD permit (either an Accessible parking permit or visitor pass), may park in any available non-reserved parking space or metered parking space at no additional cost.

Veteran Parking

Disabled Veteran Parking

Per SB 792 (PDF [Portable Document Format File] ), as of January 1, 2022, anyone parking in an Accessible parking space must have an Accessible license plate or an Accessible parking placard that features the International Symbol of Access (ISA [International Symbol of Access] ). Currently, disabled veteran license plates do not feature the ISA. Texans with disabled veteran license plates wishing to use Accessible parking spaces in 2022 may apply for an Accessible parking placard or for a new disabled veteran license plate featuring the ISA. The veteran must meet the eligibility requirements for an Accessible parking placard or Accessible person license plate featuring the ISA. Not all disabilities that qualify a veteran for disabled veteran license plates will qualify a veteran for a disabled veteran license plate featuring the ISA. More information can be found at the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles website.

You may apply for an accessible parking placard and/or disabled veteran license plate at the office of your local county tax assessor-collector:

- For an accessible parking placard, download the Application for Persons with Disabilities Parking Placard and/or License Plate - Form VTR-214 (PDF [Portable Document Format File] ).
- For a disabled veteran license plate with or without the ISA, download the Application for Disabled Veteran License Plates and/or Parking Placards - Form VTR-615 (PDF [Portable Document Format File] ).
Have your doctor or health care provider complete the Disability Statement section of the application or provide an original prescription.
Submit the completed application(s) and payment (if applicable) to your county tax office.

Pay-By-Space

There are over 300 Pay-by-Space cash-less metered parking spaces on campus. To use one of these spaces, remember your parking space number or stall number and go up to the nearest payment kiosk (“LUKE Machine”), tap any key to wake it up, then follow its instructions. You have three ways to pay:

Swipe your credit card or debit card through the kiosk.
Enter a Department Coupon Code.
If you already have an account with the PayByPhone service, you can pay through their web site; through their Android™, BlackBerry™, or iPhone® app; or by calling 888.450.7275. Their normal services fees will apply. The current transaction fee for PayByPhone use is $0.40

Rate Through August 31, 2023: $2 for the first hour, plus $1 for each additional hour.

Rate Effective September 1, 2023: $2/hour.

Please remember to keep your receipt; It shows the time when your meter expires. If your time has not yet expired, and you paid via credit/debit card or Department Coupon Code, you can return to the kiosk and add more time. If you used PayByPhone, you can add more time remotely, and even set up the service to send you an SMS [Short Message Service] five minutes before your time expires.

Department Coupon Code

Please contact us if your department would like us to create a coupon code that you can hand out to your guests for use at Pay-By-Space metered parking spaces. We can create:

A single code.
A new code every month, which expires at the end of each month.
A code just for a special event, which lasts only for the duration of the event, or only for a limited number of transactions.

Once a month, we’ll send you a report of how often your code was used, and charge your department. Charges go directly to your cost center.

Visitor Pass

Visitors to campus include any person who is not affiliated with the University as a student, faculty, or staff member. Currently enrolled students, or currently employed faculty or staff, do not qualify for visitor permits.

From UTDBP3119:

The University of Texas at Dallas does not allow University departments to pay for parking permits for individual University employees using University funds. Departments may purchase a parking permit that is owned by the department and used by multiple individuals as needed. The purpose of a departmental permit is not to replace the need for employees to purchase their own parking permit, but to facilitate ease of parking when employees are performing their job duties on campus. It is the responsibility of the department head or their designee to ensure departmental passes are used appropriately. Departmental permits must be purchased via IDT [Inter-Departmental Transfer] or journal transfer — not on a University One Card. Any University funds may be used to purchase departmental parking passes.

Departments may also purchase permits for guests, suppliers, or contractors, when appropriate. These permits must be purchased via IDT [Inter-Departmental Transfer] or journal transfers — not on a University One Card. Also, the cost must be included on an independent contractor’s 1099-NEC tax form as a taxable benefit.

Visitor parking can be issued to those visiting UTD for legitimate business or academic purposes if requested by the sponsoring department. Departments may use our online permit request tool or visit one of our offices during our normal business hours to obtain a permit for a University approved guest. Please reach out to the department you are visiting to have them arrange parking for you.

If you are a faculty or staff member and you need to arrange parking for a guest visiting the campus, permits can also be requested online in advance and emailed to you as a PDF [Portable Document Format File] document that you may email to your guest to be printed. To request an emailed permit, complete a permit request form online two business days in advance of the guest arrival.

If you are resident living in University Village Apartments, Canyon Creek Heights Apartments, or University Commons Residence Halls and you need to arrange parking for a guest visiting your residence, permits can also be requested online in advance and emailed to you as a PDF [Portable Document File Format] document that you may email to your guest to be printed. To request an emailed permit, complete a permit request form online two business days in advance of the guest arrival. A visitor parking pass is required Monday-Thursday from 9:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. and Friday from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. in the housing parking areas.

Non-sponsored visitors to campus may utilize our metered parking available throughout different areas of our campus, or contact park@utdallas.edu for more options.

Please contact park@utdallas.edu for any questions or concerns about visitor parking.

Please note that a visitor permit is not required for Green, University Village Apartments, Canyon Creek Heights Apartments, or University Commons Residence Halls parking areas outside of enforcement hours:

Monday-Thursday from 9:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Friday from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

A VISITOR PERMIT IS ALWAYS NEEDED DURING THE ABOVE TIMES TO AVOID PARKING CITATIONS

Electric Vehicle Charging

Parking & Transportation services currently has seventeen electric vehicle (EV [Electric Vehicle] ) charging stations on campus:

Six in PS1, Level 1: Smart EV Chargers
Four in PS3, Level 2: Smart EV Chargers
Two in PS4, Level 1
Two in Lot J
One in Lot T
Two in Lot V

These spaces have signage reserving these spaces for electric vehicles only.. Non-electric vehicles parked in EV [Electric Vehicle] spaces are subject to immediate vehicle immobilization or towing. To utilize electric vehicle parking, your vehicle must be charging at all times. If your vehicle is in an EV space and is not charging, you are subject to a parking citation.

Smart EV Dual-Port Chargers

PS1 and PS3 locations have new dual-port, Level 2 smart EV [Electric Vehicle] chargers. The PS1 EV spaces are located on the first level, and the PS3 EV spaces are located on the second level. These chargers are available at a fee of $0.03/minute. No parking permit nor meter payment is required in these spaces, but your vehicle must be connected and charging the entire time the vehicle is parked. There is no minimum or maximum occupancy time in these spaces. The $0.03/minute fee will continue the entire time your vehicle is connected, even if your vehicle is fully charged. Payment for these spaces is available via the GRAVITI EV CHARGING phone app, available at Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.

Single-Port Chargers

PS4, Lot J, Lot T, and Lot V are single-port chargers with no smart features. There is no cost to charge your vehicle at these stations, but you must abide by parking rules and regulations by either paying the LUKE parking meter, if in a metered space in PS4, or utilizing a Gold or higher-level parking permit in Lot J or Lot V, or a University Village Apartments, Canyon Creek Heights Apartments, or University Commons Residence Halls permit in Lot T. Visitor permits are also eligible to utilize EV spaces in these locations. To ensure that all electric vehicle owners have the opportunity to utilize this service, there is a 4-hour maximum time limit for charging and parking in reserved electric vehicle spaces in Lot J, PS4, Lot T, and Lot V.

Citations

You can pay citations online, or in-person at the Parking Office. The Parking Office accepts credit cards but not cash or checks at this time.

Please note that if you pay for a citation on a vehicle, that vehicle will then be registered to you and you may be responsible for future citations on that vehicle.

If you receive a citation, you will have 14 days to pay it. On the 14^th day, a $10 penalty will be added, and another $10 penalty will be added every month until it is paid, adding up to $40 in late fees per citation. Students with unpaid citations will not be able to register for classes and their transcripts will not be released. Faculty and staff with unpaid citations will have their records marked and their parking permit revoked; any renumerations owed them when they separate from the University will be blocked.

Vehicles may receive a parking citation each calendar day, even if the vehicle has not moved since the previous day. Additionally, vehicles may be cited more than once, even in the same day, if they are committing multiple violations, or if the vehicle moves locations.

Receiving parking citations will result in a negative account hold, which prevents students from receiving certain services. Parking citations will place a B35 “Parking Fine” hold on student accounts. A B35 hold will not prevent students from registering for classes, but it will prevent the ability to receive a transcript.

If a student owes more than $500 to the University and their balance is more than 45 days past due, a B98 “Past Due Balance” hold will apply. A B98 hold will prevent class registration, loan activity, and refund distributions.

To release a parking hold, you must pay your parking balance via the MyParking portal. Once citations have been paid, the hold will be released the following business day. To check student account hold information, log in to the Galaxy portal, select Orion Self-Service, then select Student Center.

Appealing Citations

If you feel you have received a citation in error, you may file an appeal using the following guidelines:

Appeals can be accepted only through the online appeal portal through MyParking. Please have your citation or license plate available.
Appeals must be filed before the 14^th calendar day from the date of citation issuance. On the 14^th day, your ability to appeal is forfeited.
Late fees will not accumulate while a citation is under appeal.
If your appeal is rejected, you must pay your citation promptly. Late fees will begin accumulating monthly after an appeal is denied.
An appeal cannot be filed for a citation that has already been paid. Once a citation has been paid, the ability to appeal is forfeited. If a citation is paid while under appeal, the appeal will be cancelled.
A vehicle may continue to be cited, even while under the appeal process if the vehicle is still found in violation. A vehicle must park in compliance to avoid additional citations. For questions regarding citations, contact park@utdallas.edu.

Unacceptable Grounds for an Appeal:

Unaware of parking rules and regulations
Parked illegally for only a short period of time
Late for class and/or meeting
Inability to pay fine or disagreement with fine amount
Unable to find open parking space
Failure to notice or understand parking signage
Other vehicles were parked illegally and not issued a citation
Inclement weather
Never received citation on windshield
A friend or family member borrowed vehicle and received citation
Did not receive warning prior to citation

UT Dallas Vehicle Impoundment Guidelines

In order to ensure safe and orderly parking on campus, and to protect the parking privileges of those who abide by the University’s parking policies, Parking and Transportation Services is expanding its parking enforcement to include vehicle impoundment (booting and/or towing).

Vehicle Impound Guidelines:

Vehicles parked on UT Dallas property may be impounded without prior notice at the owner’s expense for any of the reasons below:

Vehicles or accounts with three (3) or more outstanding citations
Unauthorized parking in reserved parking areas
Occupying more than one parking space or parking outside of the parking space lines
Parking in prohibited areas (fire lanes, driving lanes, traffic lanes, driveways, sidewalks, dumpster spaces, intersections, grass, service vehicle parking or any non-parking area)
Parking in accessible parking spaces without valid accessible parking credentials
Unauthorized overnight parking

Vehicle Impoundment Process: Vehicles meeting any of the above vehicle impoundment guidelines may be booted or towed at the owner’s expense. The University of Texas at Dallas is not responsible for any damage to a vehicle during impoundment, relocation or storage.

Booting: The owner or driver of a booted vehicle may recover the vehicle after paying a $75 booting fee. The booting fee can be paid at the Parking Office during regular business hours or any time through the online parking portal. Students, faculty and staff may log into the parking portal by using their UTD NetID and password. Non-affiliates may log into the parking portal by creating a guest account. The owner or driver of a booted vehicle must also complete a boot release form at the Parking Office. A valid driver’s license is required to complete a boot release form and have a vehicle released. If the Parking Office is closed, the owner or driver can call UTD Police at 972.883.2222 and an officer will meet you at the vehicle. A valid driver’s license is required to complete a boot release form and have a vehicle released. The owner or driver of a booted vehicle has 24 hours from the time the vehicle is booted to pay the booting fee and claim a booted vehicle. Booted vehicles will be towed off campus at the owner’s expense if the booting fee is not paid and the vehicle claimed within 24 hours from the time the vehicle is booted.

Booted vehicles are not allowed to park on UT Dallas property (this includes metered parking areas) after the boot is released until all citations are paid or a payment plan is established with Parking and Transportation Services. Previously booted vehicles are subject to towing if parked on UT Dallas property without paying all outstanding citations, or if the owner or driver defaults on a previously established payment plan or does not make payments on time.

Towing: A vehicle’s owner may recover an impounded vehicle after paying all impound fees due. For additional information about impound fees and documentation needed to recover an impounded vehicle, please contact Signature Towing (972.423.4010 / www.signaturetowing.com).

Suspension of Parking Privileges: Immobilized or impounded vehicles are not allowed to park on UT Dallas property (this includes metered parking areas) until all outstanding citations have been paid or a payment plan has been established. Failure to comply may result in additional vehicle immobilization or impoundment at the vehicle owner’s expense.
