Overview
UWF Parking Services is one of many university auxiliary operations that receives no direct funding from students' tuition, the university, or the State of Florida. As such, this program is largely funded and operates through permits purchased by students, faculty, and staff who choose to park on campus. Major uses of parking funds include parking lot maintenance and construction, crosswalk upgrades for safety, trolley/bus shelters, and operation and enforcement of parking lots in accordance with UWF's parking rules and regulations.All students, faculty, and staff are required to purchase a parking permit. You can buy a permit for the semester or for the year. Fees for permits change year to year. You can purchase either a hangtag or a decal.
Permits must be purchased online. Students and employees should log into My UWF and search for the "Parking Transaction Portal" app, which will lead to the parking E-Business site. Payment options include debit/credit cards and E-checks, and employees who qualify for a faculty/staff permit may purchase their permit through payroll deduction (deducted in 4 consecutive pay period payments).The E-Business site will list the permits available to you, the purchaser, based on your specific classification data. The site will list prices and permit expiration dates, and will allow for receipt printing.
Please review the UWF Reg 5.001 Parking and Registration regulations and the UWF Parking Maps (click on link and then scroll to the bottom of page).
