Resident Parking

Students who live in the residence halls or family housing are required to purchase permits each semester. Residential students may have one parking permit with one car each semester. The residential student must be the driver of the vehicle. 

If a different car is brought to campus, the current vehicle must be removed from the permit and the new one must be linked to it. Residential students do not have the ability to change the vehicle on their residential permit. Therefore, an email must be sent to geauxpark@louisiana.edu providing the license plate number, issuing state of the plate, make, model, year and color of the vehicle. Do this before bringing the vehicle on campus to prevent unnecessary citations.

The car must be registered to a student's parking account before purchasing a permit.  Parking permits are NOT transferable among individuals and any such transfer will be a violation of the "Code of Conduct" and the UL Lafayette Traffic Code.

Permits are a two-step process: Vehicle registration and purchase permit

To register your vehicle and purchase a semester permit, log into the portal, select Campus Services to see the Parking & Transportation Services section. Enter the vehicle information. After the vehicle information has been entered, the second step is to purchase a permit. A confirmation email will be sent if the transaction is successful. No confirmation email = no permit. Go back and try again.

  • Daily shuttle service to and from the University is provided by UL Lafayette鈥檚 Office of Transportation Services (7 a.m. - 10 p.m.). A shuttle should arrive every 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Since parking is limited onsite, the Office of Transportation Services will be conducting a lottery for parking permits at the hotel. Students should sign up for the lottery by Monday, Aug. 12, 2024 for the Fall 2024 semester residents.
  • To register for the lottery: 
    • Log in to .
    • On the Parking & Transportation card, click the Access My Parking Account link.
    • Select Add/Edit Waitlists at the bottom of the page.
    • Agree to the Terms on the Enter/Edit Account Waitlists page and click Next.
    • Update Vehicle information: On the Update Account Vehicles page, either add a vehicle or select Next if the vehicle is already registered.
    • Join the lottery list on the Add Waitlist Selections page by selecting the lottery list that corresponds to the hotel to which you are assigned. Only sign up for one lottery - the lottery for the location you are going to live for the fall 2024 semester. Signing up for both locations will cause a delay in completing the lottery.
  • If you are not selected for the lottery, you will have the option to get a permit for the Health Sciences Garage at 611 St. Landry St. 
  • The Health Sciences Garage will be part of the hotel shuttle route.
  • All vehicles must have an active parking permit to park at the hotel or on campus.
  • Only vehicles with an active permit will be allowed to park at the hotel or Health Sciences Garage depending on the permit. Unregistered vehicles will be cited and/or towed from the hotel and neighboring businesses.

The Office of Transportation Services utilizes license plate recognition instead of issuing physical permits so you should pull in to all spots so your license plate is visible to the plate reader. Failure to do this will result in a citation.
