Q: I am a new faculty/staff employee, how do I order my permit?
A: Your department will provide you with the information for a temporary permit that lasts two weeks.

You may purchase daily permits but if you are on campus four or five days per week, it is cheaper to purchase the annual permit. Please bring your campus ID with you.
