Faculty and staff parking permits will shift from August expiration to June for the 2010-11 academic year.

Dan Carpenter, director of Parking and Transit Services, said the change will help relieve pressure caused by issuing faculty, staff and student permits all at the same time.

“By shifting the expiration date for faculty/staff permits to the end of the fiscal year, it allows us to get those permits processed and have additional time to focus on students,” said Carpenter. “It is also a benefit to faculty who have nine-month appointments.”

Current faculty/staff annual parking permits are valid until Aug. 16. Carpenter said, as the 2010-11 annual permits are valid for 10 and a half months, prices will be adjusted to reflect the shorter term. The annual faculty/staff permit term will return to 12 months for 2011-12, valid from June 2011 to June 2012.

Carpenter said nine month and fall semester permits remain available.

Parking and Transit Services has started processing parking permit requests for 2010-11. Currently, permits can be ordered online at http://parking.unl.edu.

Starting July 1, parking permits can be ordered in person at the Parking and Transit Services Office.
Permits will start being mailed to faculty/staff on May 10.
