Purchasing a Permit
To purchase a permit online, simply log into your customer account. The appropriate residential parking permit for your housing assignment will appear as an option for purchase. Housing assignments must be finalized before residential permit options can be displayed.
Purchases can also be made in person at our customer service center or over the phone by calling 859-257-5757.
Please have the make, model, color, and license plate number of your vehicle available, as vehicle information is required before a permit purchase can be processed.
Our customer service center is located at 721 Press Avenue and our regular office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
All outstanding parking citations must be paid before a permit purchase may be processed. Citations may be paid online or over the phone.
For students who choose to park on campus, note that 2023-2024 parking permits will be valid beginning on Saturday, August 12, and must be displayed upon arrival. Residential permits will also be activated for entry and exit from gated parking structures beginning on Saturday, August 12.
Periphery (RK and CK) lots temporarily go off control on Saturday, August 12, and return to permit control on Monday, August 21, when classes begin. Please see our Parking Maps page for detailed information about campus parking areas.
Permit renewal time also offers students a good opportunity to consider other methods of transportation to, from, and around campus, rather than single occupancy vehicles. Transportation Services offers several attractive incentives to encourage both employees and students to consider sustainable options, such as biking, busing, walking, or ride-sharing. For details about these programs, visit the Incentives section of our website.
