We offer a number of permits to accommodate students, faculty and staff based on need, location, ability and vehicle type. If you’re a student living on campus, a hospital tech, a distinguished motorcycle-riding faculty member or an employee of the University Campus Store, we have a permit that’s right for you.
Contractor Permit
The Contractor Permit is available to university project managers and general contractors who hold existing contracts with the university. This permit allows construction and plant operation vehicles to park on campus.
Complete the following step to obtain the Contractor permit:
STEP 1: The university project manager or plant operations manager must first submit the 'Project Parking Plan Form' to paul.quist@utah.edu.
If you are the general contractor, contact your project manager or plant operations manager to complete this step.
- Download the 'Project Parking Plan' form here.
- To ensure parking facilities are available to the contractor, submit the form before bidding on the project.
- The 'Project Parking Plan' must be approved before requesting a Contractor permit. Permits are not issued without prior authorization.
- Contractor permits are virtual, meaning each license plate represents the permit
STEP 2: University project managers and general contractors must then fill out the Contractor Permit Request form. After submitting the permit request form, you will receive an email with the permit order status details.

Sidewalk Access Permit
The Sidewalk Access permit allows a vehicle to access the locations on campus that are far from appropriate loading zones, otherwise prohibited.
There are two different types of Sidewalk Access permits:
- The Sidewalk Access permit for delivery vehicles may be issued to vendors and service providers making deliveries to landlocked buildings.
- Campus departments commissioning services must apply for delivery permits on behalf of their vendors.
- Hazard lights must be flashing while the vehicle travels along the sidewalk.
- The Sidewalk Access permit for maintenance projects is exclusive to Facility Operations vehicles and may allow access to landscaped areas.
- This permit allows temporary access to non-accessible sidewalks for maintenance and/or construction as needed.
- Hazard lights must be flashing while the vehicle travels along the sidewalk.
SIDEWALK ACCESS PERMIT POLICIES:
Sidewalks are for pedestrians, and motor vehicles may not have continuous access on campus walkways. When sidewalk access is not essential, vehicles relocate to a parking lot. Sidewalk permits may be revoked for inappropriate use. These policies govern appropriate use:
- Hazard lights must be flashing while the vehicle travels along the sidewalk.
- The speed limit is 5 mph when traveling on the sidewalk.
- Vehicle operators must yield to pedestrians and keep the wheels of the vehicle on hardscape at all times.
- Vehicles may not block building entrances, ADA access ramps or fire lanes.
- Vehicles are never allowed to park on or drive across the Marriott Library Plaza or the plaza between Gardner Commons and the Language and Communication Building

Full-time and benefits-eligible staff and faculty may choose to purchase a parking permit through pre-tax payroll deduction. Call (801) 581-6415 to enroll.
PAYMENTS
This convenient payment method divides the total permit cost into 24 payments and automatically renews each year.
CANCEL PERMIT
You may cancel your permit at any time by calling our office at 801-581-6415 during business hours or by sending an email to parkingpermits@utah.edu. Keep in mind that when a payroll deduction permit has been cancelled, it can only be reinstated once during a fiscal year. If you need to cancel it and reinstate it a second time, you would need to purchase a cash permit.
NOTE: Employees may not have multiple permits on payroll deduction.
Faculty and staff may purchase semester permits in full without payroll deduction. Permits purchased without payroll deduction will not automatically renew.
PRORATED PERMIT REFUNDS
Active permits may be returned for a prorated refund for up to 60 days after the date of purchase. Expired permits cannot be returned for a refund. Send an email request to parkingpermits@utah.edu to request a prorated refund. Emails must be received within the 60-day period of time.
HOW ARE PRORATED REFUNDS CALCULATED?
The amount of the refund is calculated by using the date of purchase, and the date the refund was requested, to determine the used portion of the permit. The weekly value for that permit is subtracted for every week the permit was used (see below). The remaining value will be refunded.
WEEKLY VALUE OF PARKING PERMITS
- U and HU permit: $15.00 per week
- A, CU, HCU, SHU, and RP permits: $37 per week
- CA permit: $39 per week
- Motorcycle permit: $5 per week
- Campus affiliates parked in designated ADA stalls within a regulated lot or garage are required to purchase the corresponding University permit for that area and display a state-issued ADA license plate or placard.
