I have a disability, can I park on campus with my disability placard?
Please refer to TxDMV.GOV for further guidance. Visitors parking on campus having a valid state or county-issued disabled permit or license plate (including disabled veteran license plates) may park in any designated disabled parking space or any other non-restricted parking space, with a valid disabled permit/license plate (to include Disabled Veterans). Employees, Faculty, Staff & Student Commuters may park in any designated disabled parking space on campus, but must register and have a valid PVAMU parking permit to park on campus. Both permits must be displayed to be authorized to park.

Can I pay with cash for a permit?
W.R. Banks accepts cash for students, faculty, and staff once your charges transfer to your Banner account. The Parking Office only accepts debit/credit cards through the parking portal.
What is a one-time transfer to my student Banner account?
All charges for permits or citations are transferred to your student Banner account for payment. After which, the information your parking portal account will show a zero balance. Payments are handled by the Bursar’s office.
I received notice of a citation but my parking portal shows a $0.00 balance, do I owe anything?
Yes, it has been transferred to your student Banner account.
I classify as a Faculty/Staff member or a student but I am only visiting the campus, do I need to create a visitor’s account?
If you have a valid PVAMU parking permit, you may park on campus based upon your permit. If you do not have a valid permit, access the parking portal. If you decide to use a visitor space, you will need to create an account in the ParkMobile application.
