Fall 2018 Parking Sales

Sales will begin online at 7 a.m. on Thursday, July 12 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 26. All Monroe Park Campus commuter permits will go on sale at this time.

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.

Prepare ahead of time

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/eidfinderif 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.
  • Registered for classes. Students who have not registered by the sale dates will not be able to purchase parking at that time.

Accessing the portal

You may access the parking portal by visiting www.parking.vcu.edu and clicking on the yellow “Manage my Account” button, located in the top right hand corner. You should then select the “Get Permits” option from the top drop-down menu. Once logged into the online parking portal, you will be placed into a queue. Due to the large volume of students accessing the site, please note that you may experience extended wait times.

After your purchase has been completed, you will need to print off the confirmation page, which serves as your temporary parking pass. You should receive your RFID hangtag in the mail within 7-10 business days.

A list of available parking locations and permit options can be found at http://www.parking.vcu.edu/parking/students/options-and-rates

In the event the online parking portal experiences technical difficulties on July 12 or July 26, 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.
