Parking Permit Renewal 2021–22

IU employee parking permits for 2021–22 are now available for purchase online at the IU Parking Portal.

We recognize that employees may be facing uncertainties regarding the reopening of campus, which in turn may affect their transportation and parking needs. To provide flexibility for employee needs, permits may be purchased, exchanged, or returned at any time during the year. See information about refunds and stopping payments.

Remember that employee parking privileges are not transferable. The permit issued to you is for your use only. You may use the permit on any vehicle you drive to work. Motor vehicle permits for 2021–22 will be valid through June 30, 2022.

Before you make a purchase, review all your permit and sustainable transportation options, and update your vehicle information. To update your vehicle information, select "Vehicle" at the top of the parking portal.

Update your vehicle information

Purchase a permit

New Parking Garage Validations Available—Beginning July 1

Employees who do not purchase a parking permit will be able to buy one-day validations to park in the Atwater, East, Fee Lane, Henderson or Luddy A/I garages.

Validations cost $5 each and must be bought in advance through the IU Parking Portal. Once purchased, validations will be added to your CrimsonCard which must be swiped to enter and exit one of the garages listed above. There is a purchase limit of 10 validations per month per employee. Unused validations will carry over to the future months, but will expire on June 30, 2022.

Garage Payment Options

Beginning June 1, we will accept CrimsonCard, American Express, Discover, JCB, MasterCard, or Visa at the garages for payment. Cash will no longer be accepted.

LPR Testing Continues

License Plate Recognition (LPR) testing will continue. Please be sure that your vehicle has a license plate facing the driving lane when parked.
