Faculty and staff may now renew their annual parking permits online and should visit the Parking and Transportation Services Employee Permits page to get their 2025-2026 permit. Please be reminded that even if you are enrolled in payroll deduction, you still need to renew your permit. If you are enrolled in payroll deduction and no longer wish to purchase a permit to park on campus, you will need to fill out the payroll deduction form to terminate these deductions.
Regular employee and Park-N-Ride permits will not be receiving a physical permit in the mail as your license plate is your permit, so please be sure to make sure it is linked to your permit. LEV, EV, ELT, Carpool and Emeritus permits will still receive a separate communication — those permit holders and Retirees will still receive a decal to display.
Existing permits expire June 30.
Clemson University Parking and Transportation Services has been approved to increase permit rates for all pay bands for the 2025-26 academic year. Adjusted rates will range from .04 to .84 per paycheck beginning on July 1, 2025, a four percent change from last year’s rates. Employees enrolled in payroll deduction will see any changes reflected in their July 30, 2025, paycheck.
Additional Permit Information
- Telecommuting faculty and staff parking on campus occasionally may consider forgoing an annual virtual permit and may opt to purchase temporary virtual daily permits online or temporary daily hang tag permits from the Parking and Transportation Services Office at a cost of $5 per day. For your convenience, automated license plate recognition (ALPR) software is in use, so temporary online permits no longer need to be printed and displayed.
- To correctly identify your vehicle when parked, if you are not parallel parking, please pull into parking spots so that your vehicle license plate is visible from the travel lane. Because the license plate is an employee’s parking permit, faculty and staff are asked to park their vehicles with the license plate clearly visible.
- To reduce traffic and improve air quality, Parking and Transportation Services offers free carpool permits to groups of two or more students or employees with similar commuting schedules. For more information, visit the Carpool Program page.
- Additionally, Park-N-Ride is available for students and employees at a discounted rate of $50 per year. Park-N-Ride lots feature shaded parking, electric vehicle charging spaces and shuttles that arrive every six minutes during peak times and 15 minutes during off-peak times. For more information, visit the Park-N-Ride page.
- Employees who cannot order a permit online (i.e. U.S. Forestry, Ricoh, Aramark or intermittent employees) need to bring their vehicle information to the Parking and Transportation Services office and complete their parking permit application.
