UNF Student Parking

Welcome to campus Ospreys! Parking Permits are a must have when you park your vehicle here.

Immediately upon registering for classes, buy your permit as soon as permits go on sale! Permit sale dates can be viewed through Osprey Update for Students, and on this web page. Permits are sold on a "first come, first served" basis, because some of the more desirable permits, such as Blue Lot permits, have set sales limits and will sell out. The Gray Lot permit category never sells out.

Please be aware that more permits are sold than the number of parking spaces since students do not come to campus every day from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fortunately, varying class schedules allow more spaces to be available, but some of the spaces may not be at your favorite lot or garage.

Permits are virtual

Our parking software is based on virtual permits, where you register your vehicle's license plate to be the virtual permit. This system not only requires you to register your license plate, but it also requires you to park your vehicle "nose-in". For example, if a space is empty in front of the original selected parking space--do not pull forward and make sure the license plate is visible. This supports our enforcement recognition cameras to quickly scan the tags for valid permits.
