What Types of Permits are Available?
Student Registration Permit
A valid parking permit should be displayed at all times from the rear view mirror or on the driver’s side of the dashboard to avoid a parking ticket. Any vehicle parked without a valid permit is subject to a citation, booting, and/or towing. Students are required to register their vehicle in the Georgia State Parking System before receiving an annual permit. An annual permit is required for all students that park on any GSU campus. The annual permit helps identify owners of vehicles in the event of an emergency, serves as paring decal at Georgia State Stadium, and grants discounted parking at parking decks on campus.
Please refer to link below to find out about additional parking permits that are available.
Students residing in the University Commons or Piedmont North should register their vehicle through the University Housing Office. Parking is available at the respective residential sites.
