2024-2025 PermIT SaLES (incluDing Summer 2025)

All available parking permits are shown in the parking portal, which updates in real time. We encourage you to check back to this portal regularly for updates. Permits are sold year-round, and the allocated inventory is constantly changing, contingent on several factors, such as lot utilization, permit returns, and construction.

Faculty and staff parking permits are available for purchase on the parking portal.

• Faculty and staff seeking who do not have UTEP credentials issued to them must email a copy of their offer letter to parking@utep.edu to purchase a permit.

• All available permits are listed on the parking portal. If a specific permit is not listed, it is not currently available. 
  
• Students with a current permit cannot see available permits, as the system only allows one permit per customer.
• The parking portal updates in real time. Check back regularly.

As a reminder, Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) does not receive funding from tuition, student fees, or state appropriations. PTS pays for all parking-related costs from revenue it generates from permit sales, citations, and visitor parking fees.

Permit Returns (student prorated refunds until May 31, 2025)
Permit Return: Click here.

• By returning your permit, you are relinquishing your right to park at that location. A UTEP permit is required to park on UTEP property from 7:00am - 8:00pm, with the exception of pay by hour visitor lots. You cannot purchase a new permit until you receive confirmation that your permit return has been processed, NOT just submitted.
• A refund will be issued based on date of submission and the refund schedule. 
• Additional information can be found on our FAQ: https://www.utep.edu/parking-and-transportation/faqs/
