Discounted Daily Upgrade Permits

We understand you may have an occasional need that requires you to park closer. Since you paid for an active semester, summer, or annual permit, a heavily discounted parking option is available for you in select parking lots. 

Responding to customer requests to park closer, the Parking Office is excited to launch a new pilot program to offer daily upgrade permits for customers that have purchased an annual, semester, or summer parking permit---- the Daily Upgrade permit. 

The new Daily Upgrade permits will allow parking in a closer, under-utilized student upgrade, faculty/staff, or garage location starting at $2.99 per day!  The intent of the Daily Upgrade permit is to accommodate the student or employee that has an occasional need to park up for the day-- maybe it is for a big presentation, to avoid the heat or cold, or knowing you will be short on time.

Availability is limited each day and the permit must be pre-purchased in the MavPark portal.  Login to Mavpark, then click Purchase Permits >> then Daily Upgrade Permits.  Select the date(s) you want to upgrade your parking, then pick from the available locations to complete your transaction. Locations will only be displayed if they have available Upgrade Permits available.

How it works:

Example 1: Imagine you have a big presentation Friday and don't want to get all hot and sweaty walking from your normal parking lot to class. For just $4.99, you can park all-day in the covered Maverick Parking garage.  While you would normally pay $4/hour or $14/day to park there, the One-Day Upgrade permit is discounted 62% to $4.99 for the day!

Example 2: Imagine you have to get to work right after your Thursday class gets out and you need to park a little closer. For just $3.99, you can upgrade to a closer faculty/staff parking lot to shorten your walk and ease your exit.  

Quantities each day are limited based on space, and all Daily Upgrade permits have to be pre-purchased through the MavPark portal.

To purchase a Daily Upgrade:

Log in to your MavPark Portal, then if you already have an active semester, summer, or annual permit, click Purchase Permits >> then Daily Upgrade Permits.  Select the date(s) you want to upgrade your parking, then pick from the available locations to complete your transaction. Locations will only be displayed if they have available Upgrade Permits available.

If you don't have an active long-term permit, you will not be able to view the Daily Upgrade permits.
