Students

Students must either renew their current permit or sign up on the waiting list in order to receive a parking permit.

You can sign up for the waiting list at any time during the year.

When a permit becomes available, you will be notified via email. If you change your email address while on the waiting list, please contact the Parking Operations Office. You have seven days to accept your permit. When you pick up your permit from the Parking Operations Office, you will have the option to have the cost of the permit billed to your Student Account, or you may pay with Cash, Debit, or Credit Card.

If you decline your permit, you will still be able to receive a permit in any other lot you signed up for on the waiting list when one becomes available.

Parking permits are valid from August 1 to July 31 each academic year, and must be renewed each year.

For a refund, bring or send your sticker(s), whole or pieces, into the Parking Lot Operations office. You will receive the monthly pro-rated refund amount. Refunded permits cannot be renewed.

Disabled Parking Permits

A Missouri S&T disabled parking permit will allow the permit holder to park in any disabled space on campus except in the visitor lot. If all of the disabled spaces are full in the area you wish to park, you may also park in a regular permit parking space, excluding metered parking. Disabled permits are valid from September 1 to August 31 each year. Please contact Parking Lot Operations at 573-341-4303, or e-mail parking@mst.edu for more information.

Visitor Group/Conference Passes

If your department or office is expecting a group, passes can be requested in advance. Please keep the following guidelines in mind when issuing parking passes to the attendees:

• The passes are only to be given to campus visitors. (Family members of faculty, staff or students are not considered visitors.)
• The passes are not to be given to any current staff/faculty or student of Missouri S&T.
• The passes are not valid at parking meters and should be explained to the visitors.
• The visitors should only park in the designated area(s) as issued. Parking in other areas creates congestion and further problems.
