Parking

On-campus parking at UCLA is somewhat limited. We strongly encourage you to view the flexible transportation options available for an alternative to driving alone to campus. With the BruinGo! Program, students can use their BruinCard (UCLA identification card) to ride many Santa Monica Big Blue Bus and Culver City Bus lines to campus at a significantly reduced rate. In addition to saving money, these options are also good for the environment. To view the available options, go to: http://map.ais.ucla.edu/go/1004432.

Student Parking Permits

Students can apply for one of two general types of permits: a ridesharing permit (Carpool Parking Permit) or a non-ridesharing permit (Commuter Permit).

UCLA Parking Services has simplified the student parking application and prioritization process. Students interested in purchasing parking permits simply access the online parking application with their UCLA logon ID, and personalized parking options will be displayed based on campus data (class standing, housing status, graduate student major, etc.). Parking offers will be prioritized according to the class standing listed in the student database.

Highest priority is given to graduate students, followed by seniors and juniors, then sophomores and first year students. Carpooling students are given priority within each category. (Please note: Students must be registered for the current term to apply for parking.)

  • All commuter students qualify for parking. Students living in 90024 will need to pay the residence hall rate to permit garaging a vehicle on campus.
  • Students living on campus will need to have a local, verifiable, current, continuous and off-campus job or class course apprenticeship to qualify for parking (excluding Regents Scholars).
  • Carpool groups that apply on time are given priority for carpool permits at a discounted rate. All members must meet Carpool Parking Requirements.

Application and payment deadlines are firm. No exceptions.
