Parking Permits

UMBC Parking Services now has virtual permits through License Plate Recognition for all parking across campus. All vehicles must be registered through the UMBC parking website:  my.umbc.edu/go/parking and select Parking Account Management. Vehicles can also be added here. Permits are enforced year round.

Faculty/Staff permit parking zones include Zone D – Faculty and Staff (includes Daily Permits) and Zone E – Gated Faculty and Staff. Zone designations apply Monday through Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. during the fall and spring semester. Zone D and E permits are valid in Zone A after 3:30 p.m. During the summer and winter sessions, the modified zone plan allows employee permit holders to park in Zones A and C in addition to their regular zones. Parking maps are available on UMBC’s Parking Services website. Parking signs designate the applicable zone by letter.

Daily faculty / staff permits: Daily faculty/staff permits are available to UMBC employees for $2 per day. Proof of identification (e.g. UMBC ID or driver’s license) must be provided and your vehicle(s) registered with UMBC.
