You have until July 5 to get your lot preferences in. They do not go in order of when students apply, but rather wait until July 5, then immediately assign parking based on who currently holds a permit as well as their classification (senior, junior, sophomore, freshman). Certain lots, like Lot 30 and NSG (and others), give preference to on-campus residents. If your student is living off campus and plans to drive and park on campus daily, UCG may be the most central parking available unless they are a senior and can get into Lot 50. The TAMU Transportation Services website map also shows which lots are “any valid permit” lots, so if they are holding a permit to a central lot on campus, they can also park in an “any valid permit” lot for purposes of studying at the Med Sci Library, for example. Be sure to check out which lots are night lots only (5 p.m. - 6 a.m.) or day lots, and lots where parking is not permitted on game days. Also remember that if your student is bringing a car to campus, check with your insurance carrier to see if it is cheaper to record their car as garaged in College Station vs. your home. We live in Harris County with the highest premiums in the state. By having my son’s car parked in College Station vs. at home, we save $500 in premium each year, so that easily covers his parking expenses.
