Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide a safe, well-maintained parking infrastructure ensuring equitable parking for the PVAMU community.

Quick Tips

*Students must register for their parking permits by the 5th day of classes each semester. Residential student gate access card is not a parking permit.

*Faculty/Staff must register for their parking permits by August 31st each school year.

*Overflow parking for both Faculty/Staff and Commuter/Resident Student Parkers will be Lot 95.

*Permit Holders can park at the MSC for up to 1 hour daily except for during special events.

*The Parking Portal on the Parking Management website is the official Parking Account. Treasury Services serves as the backup account.

*Once you have completed the online registration process and your vehicle is registered, you will be assigned a virtual permit which will be recognized by your vehicle license plate.

*Please make sure that you do not enter any spaces, dashes or other punctuation marks when entering your license plate information.

*Temporary Plates must be updated immediately in the system before parking on campus. Rental/Temporary Vehicles must be added to the account prior to parking on campus.

*Panther Plaza parking is for those conducting business at Panther Plaza only.

*All visitors, students (commuter and residential), staff, faculty, vendors and contractors must have a valid parking permit while parked on the PVAMU campus. Visitors will need to locate a designated Visitor Space and pay via ParkMobile. Vendors and contractors must stop by the Information Center to obtain a vendor/contractor pass.

*Important Permit and Registration Updates

Register your vehicle here using the Prairie View A&M Students and Faculty/Staff login link. This is the official parking portal website where Students and Faculty/Staff must view their parking permits and citations.

A permit holder is allowed up to five vehicles on one permit, but only authorized one vehicle on campus at any time.

*Resident Students (Green Permitted Lots)

Resident parking is designed to help residents park closer to their dorm. These zones are controlled by a waitlist to ensure resident permit holders have a space at all times. Residential Zones are enforced 24/7 for the safety of residents and do not allow Commuter/Faculty/Staff/Visitors access at any time, even if the gates are open or the lot is ungated.

*Commuter (Orange Permitted Zones)

Commuter students are eligible to purchase commuter permits, but now a specific lot must be selected as individual lots are sold to capacity and will no longer have the ability to park in multiple lots.

Commuter students include any enrolled student who does not reside within university managed housing.

Evening commuter students must purchase a commuter permit.

*Faculty & Staff (Orange and Purple Permitted Zones)

Faculty and Staff have choices of Orange or Purple Permitted Zones parking. Parking will sell a limited number of parking permits per lot. Once a lot sells out, sales will close for that lot and the Faculty and Staff member will then have to choose either another Orange or Purple Permitted lot for parking. Red zones are controlled by a waitlist to ensure faculty and staff permit holders have a space at all times. Orange and Purple lot permit holders must park in their assigned parking lot. Parking in another lot will result in a citation. Overflow parking will be in Lot 95.

Parking options vary to accommodate all needs and budgets. Faculty and staff are eligible to use payroll deduction as a pre-tax deduction to pay off the full balance of their parking permit over the course of the academic year.

Faculty & Staff Restricted (Red Restricted Zones)

The Faculty & Staff Restricted lots are strictly controlled. Each Faculty & Staff member authorized in a Red Restricted lot will have a numbered parking space assigned to them. Faculty and staff are eligible to use payroll deduction as a pre-tax deduction to pay off the full balance of their parking permit over the course of the academic year. These zones are controlled by a waitlist to ensure restricted permit holders have a space at all times. Any unauthorized vehicle parked in a controlled Red Parking space, will be towed to lot 95 or off campus.

Contract Employees

Contract Employees are eligible for Faculty/Staff, Commuter and in some cases Restricted Zone parking.

Parking options vary to accommodate all needs and budgets.

Motorcycles

Motorcycles are a great way to navigate campus at PVAMU.

Faculty, staff, and students are eligible for motorcycle permits.

Disability Parking

Anyone parking on campus who has a valid state-issued disabled permit or license plate (including disabled veteran license plates) may park in any designated disabled parking space if available, with a valid disabled hangtag displayed. Hangtag must belong to the driver of the vehicle.
