June P&T Updates
June 28 – Fall 2017 Parking Sales Begin July 6
We would like to remind you of the dates for the upcoming Fall 2017 parking sales. Sales will begin online at 7 a.m. on Thursday, July 6 for the MCV Campus. All housing permits (to include off-campus housing permits) will also be available for purchase at this time.
The Monroe Park Campus permit sale will take place at 7 a.m. online on Thursday, July 20.
Due to the large volume of activity on sale days, phone lines and customer service office locations may experience higher than normal traffic. If you are unable to reach us by phone, we encourage you to send an email to parking@vcu.edu, and a customer service representative will respond promptly. You may also connect with us through our social media channels at Facebook.com/VCUParking or @VCUParking on Twitter.

In preparation for the online web sales, please make sure you have the following:
- A valid VCU eID and password. Please visit http://go.vcu.edu/eidfinder if you do not know your eID and password.
- A debit or credit card to make your online purchase
- The make, model and license plate of all vehicles you may drive to campus
- A complete address of where your permit will be mailed
- No outstanding parking citations. Citations can be paid online at http://www.parking.vcu.edu/parking/citations.

Accessing the portal
A list of available parking locations and permit options can be found here: http://www.parking.vcu.edu/parking/students/options-and-rates
In the event the online parking portal experiences technical difficulties on July 6 or July 20, to ensure everyone has a fair opportunity to purchase their preferred location, the portal will be deactivated immediately and parking sales will be relaunched on an alternate date. An alert will be placed at the top of the portal if this deactivation occurs. Additionally, notifications will be sent via email as well as posted on the VCU Parking and Transportation Facebook and Twitter channels.
