Purchasing Parking Passes/Decals and Registering Vehicles

Students, faculty and staff who choose not to purchase a seasonal parking decal must pay the $3.50 daily rate, and present a valid (University issued) I.D. All others must pay the $8.00 daily rate. These daily passes are only available for purchase at the Van Ness garage parking booth when a parking attendant is present.

Students, faculty and staff who choose to purchase a seasonal parking decal must register their vehicle(s) with the Cashier’s Office by completing a parking application. Applications are available at the Cashier’s Office and the University’s website, www.udc.edu (please see downloads).

When purchasing a decal, students must provide proof of course registration (class schedule) to the Cashier’s Office; therefore, the registration process must be completed prior to obtaining a parking decal (not applicable to University employees). The Cashier’s Office will accept cash, money orders, checks, and/or major credit cards (Discover, MasterCard, and Visa).
