In order to park a vehicle at the University of Houston Sugar Land, all students, faculty and staff must have a valid UH parking permit or use the pay-by-phone visitor parking.

All active UH parking permits are permitted to park at UH at Sugar Land, with the exception of the UH at Katy permit, as well as the Monday-Wednesday-Friday and Tuesday-Thursday garage permits. The evening-weekend permit cannot be used until 3 p.m. Monday-Friday (it can be used any time on Saturday/Sunday).

• Any ungated lot at main campus - Monday-Thursday, 3 p.m.-10 p.m. and Friday-Sunday.

To be eligible for the UH Sugar Land permit, a UH student must be taking more than 50% of their credit hours for the semester in face-to-face in-person classes on the Sugar Land campus. Students living in an on-campus residential community are not eligible for the Sugar Land permit.
