How to Display Your Parking Permit  
 
Summary: Find out how to properly display your parking permit.
Parking rules Parking tips
Follow the instructions on your permit. Follow the instructions printed on both sides of your permit, and:
  • Make sure the entire permit face is visible.
  • Place the permit only on the rearview mirror or the driver-side dash.
Notify Parking if you forget your permit.
  • Get a complimentary day permit from the Parking Office if you've forgotten your annual permit.
  • Notify Parking Compliance, (858) 822-3379, right away if you forget to display your annual permit and can't get back to your car.
Car cover users: Display your permit visibly. To avoid possible damage to your vehicle, a parking officer will not look under the car cover for your parking permit.
  • Lock your permit so it hangs visibly onto the driver-side of the car cover. (The Parking Office will laminate your permit upon request and provide a cable for annual permit holders.)
  • If you plan to display your permit on the rearview mirror or the driver-side dash, it must be visible to the officer without having to lift or remove the car cover.
Make sure your permit is valid.
  • Annual permits expire June 30 of the current academic year.
  • Short-term permits expire on various dates. Make sure the date of use on your permit is current. If your permit requires specific dates of use:
    • Clearly mark an "X" on the date of use.
    • Use black ink only.
    • Never erase or alter a mark.
    • Renew a pre-dated permit before it expires.
Never display a counterfeit, altered, or missing permit. Avoid these common mistakes:
  • Laminating your permit: Only permits laminated by the Parking Office are valid.
  • Erasures on self-dated permits: If you date your permit incorrectly, have it corrected at the Parking Office before parking for the day.
  • Dating your permit with any type of removable adhesive
  • Changing any pre-printed information on the permit
  • Reproducing your permit
  • Displaying someone else's permit, or a permit that's been reported as missing.
