PARKING PERMIT UPDATE
As we enter the final weeks of the spring semester, we wanted to pass on the information we have at this point. Please note, we will post all announcements on the UMBC Parking Services site, as well as on myUMBC and the Parking Services social media sites (Facebook and Twitter).
We will be continue to operate without permits for the summer sessions. As with spring semester, you may park in any legal space (pay-to-park spots are included and there will be no charge during summer). Those who illegally park in designated spaces (such as 10 Minute, Service, CD, etc.) will be ticketed.
As far as the fall, we are awaiting final word from the University. We hope to make an announcement regarding the fall no later than the beginning of July.
The Parking Services Office will not be physically staffed this Spring, but our staff will be available to assist you during our normal office hours of 8 AM to 4 PM, Monday – Friday. Have a question? Contact us at 410-455-2551 or parking@umbc.edu. We will be providing information on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
