Since parking on campus is limited, prioritization of parking requests is necessary. For students, priority is determined by whether you live on or off campus and your total credit hours. For employees, priority is determined by the length of time you have been employed by the UM System. Some lots are restricted to only students who live in designated residence halls.

Residence hall parking lot prioritization

Students who live in residential halls are given priority for selected parking lots.

The residential areas and lots include:

• Residential Commons 1: Lot H
• Residential Commons 2: Lot S
• University Commons: Lot N
• Miner Village: Lot K
• Thomas Jefferson Hall: Lot T

If you request a student permit for a residential lot and you do not live in the associated hall, your request will be given lower priority than residents.  However, you may request permits for up to 4 lots to increase your chances to secure a parking space.

To request a new permit, go to the Parking Portal at https://ctitt-mst.cticloudhost.com and complete the following steps:

1. Click on the “HERE” link to login with your University credentials.
2. Click on the “Permit” icon located in the top left corner
3. Scroll to the “Waitlisted Permits” section,
4. Click “Add to List” for your desired permit area(s).
   1. Once this has been done, the button will change to show “Remove”
   2. Verify your Vehicle and Address information and logout.

 

There will be a notice indicating that there are no permits to purchase at this time at the bottom of the page. This is correct and will remain until an offer is sent to you via email if/when a permit is available to you. We anticipate offers being sent out to employees in mid- to late July and students will start at the beginning of August. We request you show us patience as this process generally takes us at least 6 weeks to complete. You will not be notified if you are ineligible for a permit for the lot(s) you have requested due to being outranked in seniority or if all permits have been sold.

To accept a permit offered via email, go to the Parking Portal at https://ctitt-mst.cticloudhost.com and complete the following steps:

1. Click on the “HERE” link to login with your University credentials.
2. Click on the “Permit” icon located in the top left corner.
3. Select the permit you wish to accept from the "Permit Selection" box.
4. Select or add all vehicle(s) you wish to link to the permit.
5. Select or add the address you wish for the permit to be mailed to.
6. Select the "Cart" icon in the top left corner of the screen.
7. Select the payment type for your purchase and select "Check Out" from the top right corner.

 

After completing the purchasing process, you will receive two emails. The first will be a receipt confirming your purchase of a permit and the second will be a confirmation from our office that your order has been processed. In the second email, you will receive a temporary permit that you must print out and place in a visible place of your vehicle's dash when parking on campus.

 

Failure to properly display the temporary permit will result in Parking Tickets regardless of whether the vehicle in question is linked to your permit at the time of ticketing. Temporary permits may not be used past their expiration date. If you reach the week your temporary permit expires and have not received your physical permit in the mail, please come by our office and we will assist you. Improperly formatted mailing addresses may result in an additional two week delay for permits to be sent to our office for retrieval.
