The Resident Student Permit is $610 per year.

Parking permits for residents are issued through a lottery system, with priority given to seniors, followed by juniors and then sophomores. Class status is based upon "cohort" not on "academic credits". Because on-campus parking is limited, first-year students are not eligible for a permit unless they qualify for a medical or military exception. Students with questions or qualifying circumstances should contact parking@stthomas.edu.

Please see the for upcoming lottery dates and deadlines.

Students will be notified of lottery results by email. Students who are awarded a resident parking permit will receive instructions on acceptance and necessary vehicle information. Failure to accept the resident permit within the stated deadline will result in forfeiting the resident permit offer.
