Faculty Parking

College Park

PLEASE NOTE: Parking permits will no longer be mailed automatically to faculty members teaching face-to-face classes on the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) campus.

If you need a parking permit for a restricted faculty lot, submit an online application to Faculty Services and Communications. Please submit your application as early as possible, as processing of permit requests takes approximately one week.

Please check the UMCP parking map to determine the closest parking area to your scheduled building and classroom assignment. (Note: a hard copy map will be included in your parking permit package.)

If you have not received a parking permit by your first day of class, remember that visitors to UMCP do not need a permit to park after 4 p.m. on weekdays or any time on weekends. During those times you may park in any unrestricted lot, including Lots 1, 2G, 4, 11, and 16. Be sure to pay attention to signs at the entrance to all parking lots for possible restrictions, as this information may change throughout the session.

Faculty Services and Communications handles parking permits for UMUC faculty members teaching at the University of Maryland, College Park campus. If you need additional information, please send an e-mail to parking@umuc.edu or call 240-684-2605 during business hours.

Regional Sites

Special parking requirements may exist at locations other than College Park. Military installations frequently have firm regulations. You should receive parking information for regional sites before your class begins. Contact Regional Programs at 301-985-7717 for information.

Parking Tickets

You are responsible for any parking tickets you receive. However, if you receive a parking violation on the College Park campus while waiting for a parking permit or for other circumstances you think may be justifiably contested, fill in the box on the reverse side of the ticket under the heading "All Ticket Recipients Complete the Following." Attach a brief written explanation and forward it and the violation notice to the address in the ticket.
