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.

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 can register your vehicles to your Virtual Permit by coming to our office, PS3 1.200, or through the online Parking Portal. To register a car 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. You may register up to five (5) vehicles to your virtual permit; however, only one car can be parked on campus at any given time. Parking more than one vehicle on campus at one time may lead to citations for surpassing the vehicle limit of your permit.

All virtual permits are non-transferable and can only be used by the individual to whom it is assigned. For customers who have separate permits but drive each other’s vehicles, both vehicles must be registered on each account.

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.

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 (PS3 1.200) 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 an additional Orange or Gold permit for parking in commuter spaces on campus, but they can only park overnight in their respective residential lots. On-campus residents are only allowed to park one vehicle on campus at any given time, even if they have purchased two permits. Faculty and staff can purchase Purple, Orange, Evening Orange, Gold, or Green parking permits. Handicap 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. Customers are allowed to park without a permit in certain areas from the first day of class until Census Day without being cited. This grace period only applies to the Fall and Spring semesters. The Summer semester requires a permit at all times.

For those who have not yet purchased a permit by the start of the Spring or Fall semester, parking is restricted to specific areas. Commuter students, faculty, and staff may park in Green parking without a permit from the first day of class until Census Day. On-campus residents may park in their respective housing lot without a permit from the scheduled University Housing move-in dates until Census Day. All other parking areas will be enforced.

You must purchase a parking permit before the Spring or Fall Census Day to avoid citations. A parking permit is required at all times during the Summer semesters.

Your parking permit is registered to you, and you may associate your permit with up to five (5) vehicles to be used by you.

If you are a student who is graduating or leaving the University at the end of the Fall semester, you may request to return (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 30 days from the date of purchase for a full refund. If you are a faculty or staff member, you may inquire about your eligibility for a prorated refund when you exit UT Dallas.

You can upgrade your parking permit by visiting the Parking Office (PS3 1.200) and paying the price difference between the permit you previously owned and the upgraded 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.

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.

If you own a current parking permit for UT Arlington or UT Southwestern Medical Center students, faculty or staff, please bring in your receipt for that permit to the Parking Office (PS3 1.200) and issue you a permit that will allow you to park in a comparable level based on your original purchase price.

If you use a handicap placard, please present either the original, a photocopy, or picture of your placard in person or via email. You may also send it via email to our office for validation.

If you use a handicap license plate or a Disabled Veterans plate, please submit documentation either in person or via email email to our office for validation. Documentation can be the tax receipt for your plate, or any certified document in you name with your plate number listed.

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

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

If handicap spaces are not available, anyone with a Disabled Veterans plate or a state-issued handicap plate or placard, and displaying a UTD permit (either a handicap permit or visitor pass), may park in any available non-reserved parking space or metered parking space at no additional cost.

Decorated Veteran Parking

If your vehicle has been issued a specialty license plate for your extraordinary military service, by state law you are exempt from paying a parking fee. However, a parking permit is still required from our office for you to legally park on campus. Please contact the Parking Office to have your complimentary parking permit issued to you. Please note, this exemption only applies when you are driving the vehicle and is not transferrable to others. The Texas Transportation Code §504.315 and §504.316 identifies these specialty license plates.

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:

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 handicapped spaces without valid handicap credentials Unauthorized overnight parking Displaying a fraudulent, altered or replicated permit or receipt Displaying a permit that has been reported lost or stolen Vehicles that do not display a valid state-issued license plate or current registration Vehicles with any citation over 12 months past due Any other reason authorized by law

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.

Parking at Northside

UT Dallas Parking and Transportation Services does not manage Northside. All parking inquiries regarding this property should be directed to the Northside Leasing Offices.
