Students Student Garage Lottery

GENERAL INFORMATION
There are two separate student garage lotteries:

  • "CG" Garage Graduate Lottery - Eligibility is Non-Appointed Commuter Graduate and Professional Students
  • "CG" Garage Undergraduate Lottery - Eligibility is undergraduate commuter students ranks 3 & 4 (juniors and seniors)

The on-line lottery application will be available starting August 1, 2008 through August 16, 2008 at midnight. Customers can apply by visiting the student e-services page, clicking on the link to buy a parking permit, and following the instructions on applying for a parking permit. When customers reach the permit selection page, they select the "CG" parking permit they wanted to purchase (either "CG1" or "CG2"), complete their application request, and are entered into the lottery for that permit type.

"CG" lottery results will be posted on Wednesday, August 20th. Customers will also be notified via e-mail that they have been selected to purchase a "CG" permit and they need to log back into our web site to complete the purchase process. Those approved for the purchase of a "CG" will then see it available as a permit option on the permit selection page. Customers who do not get the approval e-mail may log back in and select another permit to purchase.

"CG" permits will be reserved for those who win the lottery until Friday, September 12th. Any "CG" permits left after that will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis starting at 7:30AM on Monday, September 15th.
