University Owned Apartments ePermits

Returning resident students (sophomores, juniors, and seniors) must purchase an "H" parking ePermit for their designated area. Parking assignments are based on housing location:

• El Dorado – H43 
• Santa Ynez – H57
• Sierra Madre – H65
• Westgate – H44
• San Joaquín – No parking on premises; parking is available one mile away in structure 50 (H50).
• Residence Halls (Main Campus) – H22 (Structure 22) and designated areas in Lot 23 (H23) for eligible students. 

Parking ePermits are limited and issued on a first-come, first-served basis.

A limited number of parking spaces are available for those that wish to bring cars. Parking is not guaranteed on-site and may be located up to one mile away from your residence. ePermits for all University-owned residences can be purchased online via UCSB Transportation & Parking Services. Please visit their website for up-to-date information: tps.ucsb.edu

Residents of San Clemente Villages with a vehicle must apply for an H50 parking ePermit through the UCSB Parking Portal. The cost of parking is included in the monthly rent, but each resident must obtain their own ePermit. A copy of your current state DMV vehicle registration (registered in your or your family’s name) is required during the application process.
Residents without a vehicle can receive two San Clemente Villages parking codes per month. To request a code, call 805-893-4501. These codes renew monthly and are not available to residents with an active H50 parking ePermit.

Each apartment in Storke and West Campus Family Student Housing is assigned one parking space based on the apartment number. Only one space is allocated per unit.
The cost of parking is included in the monthly rent, but residents must apply for a parking ePermit through the UCSB Parking Portal. A copy of your current state DMV vehicle registration (registered in your or your family’s name) is required during the application process.

• In time-restricted parking spaces after-hours and on weekends (only for time designated, time is monitored by electronic chalking)

Parking is allowed in most of the main campus lots after 5pm weekdays and on the weekends. Some restrictions may apply. For example, the permits do not allow you to park in faculty or staff spaces marked “At All Times” see signage at the entrance to all lots for more information. 

The H permits are NEVER valid in R Reserved spaces, Restricted spaces, Service spaces, VENDOR spaces, Faculty/Staff spaces, H23 spaces, or metered spaces. Additionally, H permits are NEVER valid in lots 1, 2, 11, 19, 24 or 60.

The H permits are NOT interchangeable between the UCSB apartments (for example: an H57 permit for Santa Ynez cannot park in San Clemente, Storke Family Housing, El Dorado, Westgate, West Campus, Lot 60 or Sierra Madre).

Parking is not guaranteed and availability is extremely limited.  Parking is not available for all Resident Halls or Apartment complexes.  In some cases parking is up to a mile away from the complex.  Most students walk, bike, or take the bus.  The best advice to students regarding parking on campus is don’t bring a car.

See Housing's Parking & Transportation webpage. The page has information about residence hall parking, and also features information and helpful links for getting around by public transportation.

• In order for an ePermit to be valid, the vehicle's license plate must be affixed to the exterior of the vehicle, unobstructed, and fully visible from the drive aisle of the parking lot or structure.
• Parking ePermits are granted for the purpose of transportation to and from campus. Garaging (storing) your vehicle on campus is prohibited unless you are an "H" ePermit holder with an active lease agreement in the assigned parking lot.
• Parking ePermits are issued solely by Parking Services and are assigned after verification of eligibility.
• ePermits are not transferable between friends or family members.
• ePermits are issued when the applicant has paid the required fee, resolved all delinquent parking citations and provided proof of eligibility.
• Failure to provide and maintain accurate information on the parking ePermit application may result in citation, fine, the loss of parking privileges and referral to the Campus Police or the Dean of Students for disciplinary action.
• You will not receive a physical permit, because your license plate acts as your ePermit number. You may be subject to citation if you neglect to associate your license plate on your Parking account at http://tps.ucsb.edu/parking-permits/ePermits.
