Daily permits are free of charge. Weekend Parking, Friday after 3:00pm, Saturday and Sunday, no permit is required. If a visitor receives a parking citation for no parking permit during the week, they should immediately notify the Parking & Transportation Department for instructions.

In the event you are not sure your agency would like to have a vendor table at the time of individual registration, you can sign up as a vendor at a later time.

No, you can register for one day if needed. However, you will need to attend the full day you registered for to receive CEUs.
