Applications for student parking assignments for the 2025-26 academic year will open on July 14. All submissions must be made online, and parking access will commence on Monday, August 11.
The costs for parking assignments are as follows: Standard 24-hour access is priced at $421, while Evening access from 3 p.m. to 8 a.m. on weekdays and all day during weekends is available for $283. Further rate information can be found on the Parking Services website.
During the busy processing period, it may take up to 10 business days to receive confirmation of an assignment. Once processed, students will receive an email with instructions for picking up their parking hang tag. It is important to note that failure to display the hang tag may result in citations that must be paid by the student.
Purchasing a fall semester parking assignment will result in automatic billing for the spring semester in January 2026.
For occasional campus parking needs, value card barcode validations are available at campus parking offices. These validations cost $9 each, providing a discount from the maximum daily rate of $15 and can be used at any visitor parking lot.
Students wishing to cancel their parking assignment must return their hang tag; otherwise, they will continue to be billed for subsequent semesters even if they withdraw or graduate.
Inquiries or requests for further information should be directed via email to parking@uic.edu.
