Vehicles parked in employee areas on campus must have a valid employee permit. Permits only grant parking to vehicles registered to your permit with Parking Services. Unless virtual, permits must be properly displayed on the lower left, driver's side, of the windshield. Those parked without proper permits displayed are eligible for violations. Permits can be purchased online through the permit portal. View permit types by scrolling further down on this page.
CALL PARKING SERVICES IF UNABLE TO COMPLETE ONLINE TRANSACTIONS.
If you will be on leave for any period of time, are no longer employed by MSU, or just no longer need your current employee permit, it MUST be returned to Parking Services. If eligible for a pro-rated refund, one will be issued based on refund rates at the time of return; if payroll deduction was selected, enrollment will be stopped.
If the permit is virtual, a photo of the email confirmation of purchase can be used in place of photos of the physical permit. Contact Parking Services for further details about your specific permit.
Employee permits are NOT eligible at individual meters, pay-by-plate only lots, university vehicle spaces, loading zones, visitor/patient spaces or unauthorized leased spaces. Permits are NOT valid during special events. Your MSU ID will work to open gated lots; if having issues with gate access please contact Parking Services.
ONLY PERMIT HOLDERS ARE ELIGIBLE TO PARK AND USE A PERMIT’S PRIVILEGES. Unauthorized transfer or use of a permit and/or gate access privileges will result in confiscation and termination of privilege(s) for at least the balance of the registration period. Parking violations may also be issued for unauthorized use of the permit and/or gate access.
