Spring 2025 parking permits and passports now available for purchase through April 17 

Faculty and staff members can save money compared with daily rates.

As spring semester kicks off, the Auraria Campus Parking and Transportation Office encourages faculty and staff members to secure parking permits or passports before Sunday, when fall 2024 permits expire. Spring permits and passports will become active Monday.

These parking options are designed to simplify campus parking while offering savings compared with daily rates. With fully digital permits and passports linked to license plates, there’s no need to visit the office for pickup. 

Choose the option that works for you 

The parking passport offers daily parking with in-and-out privileges, along with a 75-cent discount from standard daily rates. Available in Gold, Silver and Bronze tiers, passports cover varying levels of access and can be purchased for one to seven days per week. 

For those parking in specific locations, parking permits are available for the Maple Lot, Juniper Lot and 7th Street Garage. These permits also include in-and-out privileges and offer a 25-cent daily discount. 

Pricing for passports and permits is prorated throughout the semester, making them an economical choice even for those joining later. 

Simplified convenience 

Purchasing a passport or permit not only saves money but eliminates the need to pay at kiosks or via the parking app. Note that these options do not cover ParkMobile metered spaces.
