  • If you plan to leave your vehicle before the last day of exams contact the office for instructions.

  • Your car must be registered. The cost of a permit is $210.
  • If you have the annual permit that expires August 5, 2024, then you do not need to purchase a summer permit – park in the designated location listed below.
