Parking permits for 2019-20 now on sale

Parking permits for the 2019-20 academic year are available for purchase through mypark.charlotte.edu. The 2019-20 permits will be valid beginning Thursday, Aug. 15.

Permit pricing for 2019-20 reflects a 3 percent increase, which is the second installment of a three-year plan that was approved by the Board of Trustees. This increase is necessary to fund routine maintenance for aging parking lots and decks; to provide additional parking to keep pace with enrollment projections and continued campus growth; and to help pay for the Union Deck expansion, Admissions Center Lot construction, parking system hardware and software upgrades and the PaTS portion of the new Facilities Operations and Parking and Transportation Services Building (FOPS).
