If you do not have a permit, you may pay a daily fee to park your vehicle in the UF Bookstore and Visitor Welcome Center Garage, or pay to park in metered spaces around campus. If you are a patient or visiting a patient at Shands, you may park in the Shands Patient/Visitor Garage on Mowry Road.

You may not park your vehicle in a reserved, handicapped, or carpool space unless you have a corresponding permit. You may not park in a service drive without a service drive permit.

Permit eligibility requirements differ for faculty/staff members and for students. Faculty/staff permit eligibility is based on whether or not the faculty/staff member is benefits eligible, and in some cases on which permit they purchased in the previous permit year. Student permit eligibility is based on whether the student lives on or off campus and the number of credit hours earned.

You must come to the Transportation and Parking Services Customer Relations Office located at 1273 Gale Lemerand Drive (Monday – Friday 8 AM – 4:30 PM) and fill out an affidavit to report your permit as lost or stolen. You may then purchase a replacement permit at a cost of $25.

However, some areas have different hours of restriction – please be sure to always check the signs at the lot or garage where you plan to park, as the specific hours for each area will be posted on the signs. Permit restrictions are lifted on weekends and University holidays. Some permit restrictions are also lifted during certain times of year. All other parking rules apply. See current campus parking restrictions for more information.

Parking citations are issued for violations of University parking rules and regulations. Citations may be paid or appealed. Citations must be paid or appealed within 15 days from the date of issuance of the citation, or a late fee will be assessed.
