Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a parking permit at Texas A&M University–San Antonio?
Students, faculty and staff need a University parking permit to park in permit-controlled areas on campus. This includes online students who occasionally visit campus. Visitors should follow the separate visitor parking procedures.
How do I purchase a campus parking permit?
Purchase your permit through Jaguar FlexPort. Have your license plate number, vehicle make and model, contact information and mailing address ready. Select the appropriate permit and complete payment online. Eligible employees may select payroll deduction.
How much does a parking permit cost?
Permit prices depend on the parking zone, permit type and purchase period. The Parking Permits page lists current academic-year and semester rates, eligibility and available options. Review the choices carefully before purchasing; parking permits are non-refundable.
Can I park while waiting for my permit to arrive?
Yes. After purchasing your permit, print the emailed receipt and display it on your dashboard while awaiting delivery. Permits are mailed through USPS and may take up to 14 days to arrive. Contact Parking and Transportation Services if your permit has not arrived within that period.
Where can I park with my permit?
Your permit determines which parking zones you may use. Consult the parking zone assignments, check the campus map and follow posted signs before parking. Some spaces are restricted to residents, employees or reserved permit holders.
