Parking Regulations
Enforced at All Times

A valid UH parking permit is required to park on the University of Houston campus at all times, unless paying to park in a visitor parking location. Parking rules are enforced 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including weekends and university holidays.

You must park where your parking permit designates if it is Monday-Thursday between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. If it is after 3 p.m. Monday-Thursday, or any time on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, a valid UH parking permit can be used to park in any unrestricted space in any ungated zone parking lot on campus. Restricted spaces include reserved, disabled, unloading and metered.

Paying For Your
Student Permit

Students who purchase a permit online will have the permit charge added to their fee bill. The fee bill is your UH account where all university-related fees (housing, graduation application, online education, etc.) and tuition are posted. The permit charge will appear within 1-2 weeks and will need to be paid by the specified due date to avoid additional charges. Student permits bought during the summer for the upcoming fall will not appear on the fee bill until near the start of the fall semester.

Registering an
EZ Tag / TxTag

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. This does not replace the need to clearly display a valid permit at all times when parked on campus. 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.

The Evening/Weekend
Parking Permit

Students, faculty and staff who purchase an Evening/Weekend parking permit cannot use it to park on campus until after 3 p.m. Monday-Friday. It can be used at any time of the day on Saturday and Sunday. These rules apply at all times. The permit can only be used in ungated zone lots in non-restricted spaces. Avoid parking in restricted spaces, such as reserved, disabled, unloading and metered. Anyone who parks in a metered space must pay the fee, even if they have a valid permit. The Evening/Weekend permit cannot be used to park in garages.

Event Parking
for Permit Holders

Students, faculty and staff with a valid University of Houston parking permit may park at no charge in lots/garages being utilized for paid event parking, unless otherwise stated. This policy is not valid at donor lots/garages. In order to be admitted in, the permit-holder is required to show the parking attendant their virtual Cougar Card through the UH Go app on their phone. The permit-holder must click the "Tap for QR Code" button to pull up the QR Code with the moving background. Screenshots will not be accepted. The parking attendant will scan the QR Code to confirm if the person has a valid UH parking permit.
