As a reminder, any motor vehicle parked on university, CTC or other leased property must display a valid UAF parking permit or decal. You can buy parking permits online at https://uafparking.t2hosted.com/Account/Portal/ or in person at the Office of the Bursar, in Signers' Hall.

1. Can I use the pay-by-plate system to park in a metered space? No, pay-by-plate is not a meter substitution. If you park in a metered space, the meter must be paid.


2. Can I park in a meter or pay-by-plate parking space with a decal or temporary pass? No, decals and temporary parking passes do not permit free parking in pay-by-plate or meter spaces.


3. Can I park in the gold lots before 7 a.m., after 5 p.m., or on weekends? Yes, gold lots are strictly enforced Monday-Friday, 7 a.m.-5 p.m., but are available to everyone nights and weekends!


4. How do I get a gold decal? Anyone can purchase a gold decal, although it is more expensive. To be put on the waiting list, visit the account portal and select "Add/Edit Waitlists."


5. Can I be ticketed for parking out of the lines, sideways, etc.? Yes. To make sure there's room for everyone, we ask that you  ensure that your vehicle is parked straight and between the lines. We understand that the winter snowfall can cover the lines, but when the lines are visible, please park in the designated spaces!


6. Can I park in gold, reserved, meter or pay-by-plate for free during student holidays? No, the only days when parking is not enforced is on hard, campuswide closures. Handicapped spaces are always restricted to handicapped permit holders only.


7. Can I park in reserved or Facilities Services spaces at the SRC/Patty Gym after hours? No, Facilities Services and authorized-only spots are not available on weekends or after hours. Facilities Services, CSO, police and fire vehicles need access to these spaces 24 hours a day.
