Student Parking Permits

Parking Permits and Enforcement

All vehicles on campus must have a valid registration and parking permit and be parked in the correct lot designation to avoid being ticketed or towed. Ticketing occurs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All vehicles coming on campus must be registered and a permit must be purchased. Permits will be issued based on campus designation (resident location or commuter). Permits are assigned to specific lots. Once you've successfully completed this process you will be issued a parking sticker to affix to your lower left driver's side of the windshield.

Registering your vehicle and getting your parking permit

Have your license plate and vehicle information available—you will need it to complete your permit registration. Please note that securing your permit is a two (2) step process: registering your vehicle and connecting a permit to it. 

First, visit the parking portal, click "UMass Dartmouth Login” and login using your UMassD username and password 

Step 1: Register your vehicle

• Register your vehicle by entering your license plate number and vehicle information in the 'add a vehicle' field 
• You may register one vehicle under this permit. 

Step 2: Connect your student permit to your vehicle 

• Click ‘Get permits’ and follow the prompts to assign a permit to your vehicle. Once you have completed this step, you will receive a confirmation email.
• To add vehicles to your permit, click ‘view your permits’, click on your permit number, click add a vehicle

If you need to change the vehicle that you have connected to your permit please e-mail the motor vehicle registration to parking@umassd.edu Students cannot accomplish this process on their own.

To avoid towing and ticketing

Effective the first day of classes, all vehicles must have a valid UMass Dartmouth parking permit corresponding to their affiliation to the campus.

All vehicles without proper, current permits or in violation of the parking regulations will be subject to ticketing and fines, wheel boots, and/or towing at the owner's expense. Strict enforcement of parking regulations begins on the first day of each semester.

• You may park only in the parking lots designated by your permit type on a first-come, first-served basis. Refer to the campus map for residential and commuter parking.
• Any car parked in an illegal space (such as disability spaces, fire lanes, etc.) will be subject to ticketing and towing. 
• If you have any questions regarding student parking decals, please contact Parking Services: parking@umassd.edu or 508.999.8131.
