Where Faculty and Staff parking permit holders can park:

All Faculty and Staff permit holders (annual, semester, and daily permit types) are allowed to park in common Faculty & Staff lots on all campuses. Gated lots or decks require a keycard to access. RBHS Newark decks are excluded for daily permit holders. 

Additional Vehicles:

After the permit registration, any new vehicle, new license plate, rental, or loaner car must be registered with a valid parking permit. If you have a temporary plate, register the vehicle with the temporary plate number, and when the permanent plates have been installed on the vehicle, update the information from the parking portal account. Temporary, rental, or loaner car license plates can be deregistered from the parking portal account, to unlink the license plate from the current permit when no longer in use.

Gated Lots & Deck Access

For New Brunswick: Key Cards are available for purchase for common gated lots, College Ave. Lot 16 (accessible to TA/GA starting at 4pm on weekdays), Busch Lot 55, and Douglass Lot 79A. Assigned Lots and NBPA Decks must be approved for access before submitting a request.

Keycard Request Form

For Rutgers and RBHS Newark: We are transitioning to a new gate access technology using License Plate Recognition (LPR), to grant you entry and exit of the parking decks. In the interim, active permit holders assigned to park at the decks will have access, and enforcement will remain in place at all times. Upon transition completion, LPR will validate access to eligible permit holders with a mobile app program as a backup system. Permit holders will be notified of deployment status and any further information.
