Your virtual permit allows you to park in designated areas on campus, based on your permit type. Look for signs at the entrance of each parking area to avoid getting a ticket. For example, students should not park in lots designated for faculty/staff only.
You must register your motorcycle, moped or scooter separately from your automobile to park in faculty/staff lots, student lots and designated motorcycle parking. Learn more about motorcycle registration.
If you are required to pay for your permit, you can pay online using an eCheck, credit card or debit card. You will be prompted to pay during the registration process.
UB students, faculty and staff use virtual parking permits, so there is no need to request a replacement permit. People with specialized permits may request a replacement permit if their hangtag has been lost or stolen by emailing parking@buffalo.edu.
A guest parking permit allows you to park on campus for a specific day or range of dates. If you are visiting campus for an official academic purpose, ask the department you are visiting for a guest parking permit. You can also get a guest parking permit from Parking and Transportation Services in 1Capen on the North Campus.
A guest permit is typically required to park in a residence hall lot, except for weekends. Guests are not allowed to park in apartment parking lots.
Bringing a different vehicle to campus? You can add the license plate to your virtual permit through the Parking and Transportation E-Business Center. You cannot add the license plate of a vehicle that already exists in our system.
