Student Parking

If you will be parking a vehicle on campus, you will need to have a parking permit, unless you use one of the paid visitor parking options that are available.
Register through your myParking Account, accessible via AccessUH, and select your permit. Permits are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. 
Permits are virtual, so there are no plastic hangtags to mail!
Students have the opportunity to exchange their permits at any time, just as long as the permit that is desired has not sold out. Please note: Some permits are non-refundable / non-exchangeable after the 12th class day of the semester.
Students who purchase a permit have the cost placed on their student account (fee bill).
Most valid UH parking permits can be canceled for a prorated refund. To do this, log in to your myParking account, then click the green button that states "Cancel Parking Permit," then follow the instructions.

The following permits are NON-REFUNDABLE after the 12th class day of the fall and spring semesters:

  • All semester permits
  • Evening-Weekend permits
  • M-W-F and T-Th permits
  • Motorcycle permits

Parking and Transportation Services allows the use of EZ Tag (Harris Co.), NTTA Toll Tag (Dallas) or TxTag as a hands-free way to enter and exit your assigned on-campus parking garage or faculty-staff gated lot. If you'd like to use your toll tag, follow these steps to add it to your permit:

  • Sign in to your myParking account through AccessUH.
  • Click on your name in the upper right corner.
  • Click "Manage Your Account Information" in the pull-down menu.
  • Edit the toll tag information at the bottom of the page.
  • Enter only the eight numerals in the toll tag number. Letters and special characters will prevent the tag from working properly.
Anyone with a valid UH parking permit is allowed to park in any ungated/uncovered lot on campus Monday-Thursday after 3 p.m., and anytime Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Just make sure you do not park in a restricted space, such as reserved, disabled, paid visitor and 20-minute unloading. Evening-Weekend permits cannot be used until after 3 p.m. Monday-Friday. The UH at Katy permit is only valid in Katy. The Monday-Wednesday-Friday permit and Tuesday-Thursday permit can only be used to park in the garage designated by the permit. This includes evenings and the weekend.

Faculty/Staff Parking

New employees can purchase a parking permit through their myParking Account, accessible via AccessUH.
Permits are paid for through payroll deduction. Faculty and staff who want to pay for their permit via a credit card must come in person to the Parking and Transportation Services customer service location. Please note that in order to be eligible for payroll deductions, you must be a regular full- or part-time employee who is paid by the university.
All regularly employed and benefits-eligible full- and part-time staff members are able to purchase a parking permit. Campus partners may also obtain staff parking permits by coming into the parking office and requesting one.
You may have multiple vehicles on your parking account and registered to your parking permit, but only one of those vehicles can be parked on campus at any given time.
You can exchange your parking permit at any time, just as long as the permit that is desired has not sold out.
