Apply ten (10) business days prior to when the permit is desired to help insure time for review AND permit processing and mail time. It generally takes between 7-10 business days to process the request (process time may vary depending on the time of year, i.e., the beginning of each semester is an especially busy time). If you submit an application during the summer for the coming fall semester/year, it will be reviewed starting July 1st of that year.
Call the Parking Services Office at (517) 355-8440 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday thru Friday (excluding University holidays), to obtain the decision on your request.
If your application was initially denied, you may resubmit your request for further consideration.
No temporary permits will be issued during the application process; therefore, you must park in areas that are legal with your current permit.
