UC Permit Parking

Annual C Permits

Annual C Permits are valid in all basketball-controlled lots, and may park as normal after presenting their permit to the lot attendant. Please note that Daily Scratch-Off C Permits are not allowed in basketball-controlled lots (see below).

F, S, N/W, and Daily Scratch-Off Permits

F, S, NW, and Daily Scratch-Off Permits are not valid in the basketball-controlled lots (Frank Schlessinger Way, Dwinelle Lot, RSF Garage, Ellsworth Structure, and Underhill Levels 1 and 2).

As a courtesy, those that are already parked in basketball-controlled lots when basketball lot restrictions begin may remain parked. However, they will not be permitted to return upon exiting the lot.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What cards are accepted at UC public parking lots?

Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express are all accepted. Unfortunately, mobile payment (Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.) is not accepted at this time. For Lower Sproul Garage, payment will be collected by an attendant at the entrance to the lot. For the other UC lots listed above, yellow pay machines will collect payment and print a ticket to be displayed on the dashboard.

I have an ADA placard/plate. Is there any ADA-specific public parking?

ADA parking spaces are available at the UC public lots listed above on a first-come, first-served basis at the same rate.
