You may register your bicycle online, from August 2nd of each calendar year through June 30th of the following calendar year, within your AU Access account. To obtain a bicycle permit during July of each calendar year, you must come to the Parking Services Office to register the bicycle. You must pick up the bicycle permit at the Parking Services Office unless you are Faculty/Staff and order the permit before September 4th.

Registration FAQ

Parking permits are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the PCs and R zone parking permits sell out, no more are made available.

Due to the large number of students attempting to register as soon as their registration window opens, our system becomes overloaded and will occasionally crash resulting in an error message.

Our suggestion is to keep trying! With everyone trying to register at the same time, you have to make your selection at just the right time to secure parking before it sells out.

Unfortunately, a parking permission can be removed from your cart if you do not check out fast enough. Be prepared before your registration time and have all the vehicle information ready to enter to complete the process as quickly as possible.

No! Overflow parking for residents will open on Wednesday, July 23 at 12 p.m.  Overflow parking for commuter students will open on Wednesday July 30 at 12pm. There is enough overflow parking for everyone that did not get preferred parking.

Our phone lines experience very high call volumes during registration days. If the line keeps ringing, it means we are assisting other customers. You can also send us an email or try again later once the call volumes have decreased.

Only one person should be logged into the account for registration. If there are multiple people logged into one account then you will experience issues.

You can update your vehicle information at any time. Register with your current vehicle information but be sure to notify our office to update it once you receive your new vehicle information.

If your TES position has not ended and terminated, you will still have the classification of a TES employee. Contact our office once your TES position has ended and we’ll assist with getting you parking.

  • All vehicle registration transactions are final therefore no refunds are issued under any circumstances.
