The UCSB ePermit system works by associating your vehicle’s license plate with your individual parking account.  When read, the characters on your plate are automatically matched against the parking database to verify a valid permit for the lot location. 

UCSB ResHall or Apartment applicants please make sure to include vehicle details as well as uploading your vehicle registration.
Note, First-year students, including those with enough credits to be classified as sophomores living in any form of campus housing are prohibited from bringing vehicles to campus during their first year (FSSP, fall through spring quarters). See the First-Year Resident Parking Policy.

Those applying for “C” Commuter permits please add vehicle details as well as uploading your vehicle registration as well as your lease or rental agreement.

The vehicle's license plate must be fully visible from the drive aisle of the parking lot or structure in order for the permit to be valid.

All vehicles must be registered with TPS before parking. Unregistered vehicles parking on campus will receive a $48.00 citation.

Only one vehicle may be registered to your account / ePermit.   Vehicles found violating this policy will receive a $48.00 citation for “Multiple Vehicles Parked.”
