PARKING PERMITS
Student Permits
SD - $80.00
All students who park a vehicle on the A-State campus are required to display a valid student (SD) parking permit.

Vehicles displaying properly validated SD permits may be parked in commuter zones or in resident zones per the regulations stated below for each type of zone. All metered or garage parking must be paid. Payment of metered or garage parking does not mitigate the requirement to display a valid parking permit. Students with contract parking spaces must display a current parking permit validated for their assigned contract parking lot and space.
