First Year Parking FAQs

That is correct. The first-year student parking lottery will occur in July after course registration. To be in the eligible population for lottery participation, students will need to have submitted an enrollment deposit and completed course registration.

When the parking lottery opens, students who have completed the requirements to participate in the parking lottery will receive an email notifying them that their parking lottery timeslot is available to view on FalconPark, the system used during the lottery process to complete vehicle registration. To be in the eligible population for lottery participation, students will need to have submitted an enrollment deposit and completed course registration.

Lottery time slots will be assigned based on the enrollment deposit date. The earlier the enrollment date, the more likely a student will have an earlier lottery timeslot. Students will still need to go in during their lottery time and complete the required vehicle registration components.

An email confirmation will be sent upon submission of your parking lottery application. You will be notified mid-August of your lot assignment. FY parking permits are distributed at orientation.

Yes, commuters should register through the lottery. Commuters are guaranteed a parking space in Starry Field (P Lot), but all commuter vehicles must be registered.

Only one sibling would have to register the car they are sharing.

Transfer students are not included in the first-year student parking lottery. Transfer students should submit an Incoming Transfer Student Parking Registration Form. Student Parking staff receive transfer student lists from Admissions and check all registration forms received through Dynamic forms to see if they are transfers.

Students will provide documentation from a physician verifying medical-related issues which
absolutely necessitate the use of a vehicle:

Student and physician must complete and submit the Medical Parking Permit Application form with a wet ink signature (this means it must be physically signed and cannot be electronically signed) to apply for a medical accommodation for parking.
Student must also submit a Student Parking Registration Form

Approval is granted for no more than eight weeks in an academic year unless the student has been issued a handicapped placard from their home state department of transportation. A copy of the placard and placard ID must be submitted and kept on record. Students with a state-issued placard would still have to register their car but would not have to provide medical documentation.

Treona and D Lot will have spaces for first-year students.
