Parking Permits & Zones
Permits can be purchased through the Parking Portal. UTRGV has designated zones for each permit type to ensure parking availability for everyone. Please familiarize yourself with the parking map to know the zones where you may park. All vehicles, including those belonging to resident students, commuter students, faculty, and staff, must have parking permits displayed.

Remember: Keep Your Cool!
No matter where you park — plan ahead, stay hydrated, and pack a cooling towel or umbrella. It's important to prioritize your health and well-being during hot weather. If you need assistance, our Student and Employee Health Services are here to support you. By taking a few simple precautions and practicing self-care, we can all enjoy a safe and successful fall semester.
We hope this breakdown of the parking zones and permits provides some clarity on UTRGV’s parking requirements. As always, please don't hesitate to contact Parking and Transportation Services at Parking@utrgv.edu if you have any questions.
