Employee Parking Information

All vehicles parked on University property must display a valid UD parking permit and a valid license plate.  Employees are assigned parking according to hire date and building information provided by Human Resources.  Human Resources will add all employees with current parking permits to the waiting list automatically.  As space becomes available, employees on the waiting list will be notified by Parking Services.  Parking permits will be revoked upon leaving the university.

** Permits are transferable by their owners from one vehicle to another, but not transferable from one person to another.

When permits are forgotten, faculty and staff members must obtain one-day passes from the Parking and Visitor Information Center (College Park & L Street), Lot C Visitor's Center (Stonemill & Evanston), or at Parking Services Office (Fitz Hall, Rm 191).

Citations issued to a vehicle displaying a University permit are the permit owner's responsibility.  Misuse of a permit will result in a fine totaling twice the amount of an annual fee for a permit, vehicle impoundment, and loss of annual parking privileges.


University disability permits are sold to faculty and staff with disabilities, and are valid in ANY disability space on campus. Those requesting disability permits are required to provide Parking Services with a copy of their state disability registration for verification. 

Employee permit holders with a temporary disability may present a doctor's statement to obtain a temporary permit for a short time period. The doctor's statement should NOT include medical information, but should state that you need closer parking. A state temporary disability placard is required in order to receive a temporary permit for an extended time period.

All disability parking spaces and zones are enforced 24 hours daily, 7 days a week. Vehicles must display a University permit along with a state placard or disability license plate. Disability placards are not valid for residential student lots, unless assigned. A visitor with a state-issued disability placard or disability license plate may stop by the Visitor's Center located on campus to obtain a temporary disability permit. A vehicle driven by UD faculty, staff, students, volunteers, lab workers, or vendors parked in a disability space must display a valid UD Disability parking permit along with their state-issued disability placard or disability license plate. Disability parking permits are not valid in reserved parking spaces (e.g., those designated for authorized personnel," etc.).


Parking permits must be purchased and registered online at http://parking.udayton.edu.  All citations must be resolved prior to purchasing a permit. 

Deliberately falsifying information to obtain a permit, possession of a stolen permit, or the theft, alteration or misuse of a permit will result in a fine totaling twice the amount of the annual fee for a parking permit, vehicle impoundment and the suspension of annual on-campus parking privileges.

The parking office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 am. until 4:30 pm.  If you have questions, please call our office at 937-229-2128.
