Employee parking permits for the fiscal year that begins July 1 will go on sale Wednesday, June 10 (starting at 9 a.m. via AccessPlus). While the state Board of Regents on April 1 approved fiscal year 2021 permit price increases of roughly 3%, university administrators have since opted to hold permit fees at current levels. Rates will not increase on July 1.

Renewal deadlines
Parking director Mark Miller said that because of the delay in starting the permit renewal process this spring, permits will be available for online purchase through the fall semester. However, employees who want to renew a reserved or 24-hour reserved permit must do so by Friday, July 10. After that date, parking staff will start to assign non-renewed reserved permits to the next employee on the waiting list.
Department-purchased permits
Miller said parking contacts in university departments will receive an email in the next few days with directions for renewing department-purchased permits. Whether or not they receive an email invitation, departments may order permits online (see ISU Departmental Permits) starting Tuesday, June 9.
Missed payroll deduction
Miller said payroll deductions for parking permits unintentionally were missed in May. That oversight will not be made up, he said. The June payroll deduction will occur.
Parking counter opens June 8
The parking division's service counter in the southwest corner of the Armory will reopen Monday, June 8. Service hours will be 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Friday.
