¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥

Employees parking on campus must purchase a parking permit and register their vehicle with Parking Services. Employees may purchase only one parking permit. Employees with outstanding parking ticket balances at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ (SU) or Central Collections Unit (CCU), will not be eligible for a parking permit until the balance is paid in full.

For employees new to the University, please visit Parking Services in Holloway Hall – room 219, for us to assist you with your parking permit purchase. Please bring the vehicle registration information for the vehicle that will be on the parking permit and your ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ login credentials (if you have already started employment). See below for the permit fees, pricing is not pro-rated if purchased after the beginning of the academic year.

Parking is “Plates Out”. When parking on campus, drivers will be required to park with their license plate faces the driving lane so that it can be properly scanned. That means if you have a vehicle with one license plate, the license plate and the back of the vehicle will need to face the parking lane – no backing in or pulling through. ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ also follows Maryland law in that all license plates must be properly affixed to the vehicle.  This means that license plates lying on the dashboard of a vehicle will be cited for not parking Plates Out.  This will allow for greater efficiencies in regard to enforcement.

If a vehicle other than the registered vehicle, is driven to campus – the vehicle must be added to the existing permit. Failure to register the other vehicle can result in the issuance of a citation. Log into the permit system at  using your SU login information. Click on View Your Permits Click on the permit number click on Add Vehicles to Permit Click on Add a New Vehicle add the vehicle information Next.

Children and spouses of faculty and staff who are students at the University shall register their vehicles as students and park in student lots.

License plate information must be added without spaces or dashes. Click to see examples of correct license plate entries (PDF).

Employee Parking Permit Purchases

Permit sales for the 24/25 academic year will begin August 1, 2024. Purchasing permits is now done online using the SU Parking Portal:

You have the following three options to pay for the permit:

1. Continue with existing payroll deduction
2. Create a new payroll deduction
3. Pay for permit immediately with a credit/debit card.

Parking Permits must be purchased every year through the Parking Portal even if you have a payroll deduction to pay for the permit. If you did not purchase a permit through the portal, and have a payroll deduction established to pay for a permit, the deduction will continue automatically until you complete a Payroll Deduction Card to cancel it. Please return the Payroll Deduction Card to the Payroll Office, Holloway Hall Room 215.

All employees will need to register for permits on-line through the permit system and will need their GullNet log-in information. If you do not know this information, please contact the IT Help Desk at 410-677-5454.

License Plate Recognition

¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ has moved to license plate recognition in place of physical permits to ensure vehicles are authorized to park on campus. This change was effective December 2021. Parking Services will also use mounted cameras to scan license plates as valid permits and issue citations to vehicle without University permits.

• The vehicle license plate is the permit, and everyone who parks on campus must register for a permit. Students and employees must purchase a permit to park on any University property. These permits are valid for the entire academic year, beginning the first day of the Fall semester. Visitors may register for free permits – subject to approval by Parking Services.
• The purchaser is responsible for the accuracy of the license plate information at the time the parking permit is obtained. Do not include spaces, dashes, or symbols. [See Examples & Sample Plates (PDF)]
• License plates must face the driving lane to be scanned for compliance. A vehicle will be cited if its plate cannot be scanned. SU follows Maryland law in that a license plate must be properly affixed to the vehicle. This means that license plates lying on the dashboard of a vehicle will be cited for not parking Plates Out. Vehicles with only one license plate are not authorized to back in or pull through spaces and may be cited.
• Citations issued due to inaccurate plate information or the inability to scan are the responsibility of the vehicle owner.
• Waiving of citations will not be done for plates entered inaccurately when registering for a permit.
• Employees who may have more than one vehicle registered for their permit, may only park one registered vehicle on campus at a time. If two or more vehicles from a unique parking registration are found parked on campus at the same time, then each vehicle will be issued a citation.
