Obtaining a parking permit
Students
New students shall register their vehicle in “My Portal," , within the first 10 business days of being enrolled at the University. The hanging permit can be transferable provided all vehicles are registered in the parking permit system. If you are found in possession of a faculty/staff parking permit or misusing parking privileges, you are subject to possible student code of conduct violation.
Faculty/Staff
All employees shall register their vehicle in “My Portal," , within the first 10 business of employment. University employees purchase parking permits via payroll deduction for full-time faculty on the 20-pay cycle with a charge of $7.80; part-time employees on the biweekly pay cycle for $3; and for all other employees, the charge is $6 per pay. Paying this fee does not guarantee a parking spot when and where you want to park. The hanging permit can be transferable provided all vehicles are registered in the parking permit system. The parking fee may be assessed by logging into my.udmercy.edu, clicking on personal profile, reviewing and agreeing to the conditions, then clicking on the parking permit page to complete the registration. The payroll deduction tab must be completed prior to obtaining the parking permit. If this is not completed, a payroll deduction form may be completed at the time of parking permit pickup.
