Dear George Mason Students,
Parking permits for the 2013-2014 school year will go on sale starting on Thursday, August 1, 2013. You must purchase your permit by going online to
http://parking.gmu.edu and clicking on “Purchase Your Permit” then logging in using the same username (NetID) and password as your Patriot Pass account. We will have a limited
number of reserved Mason Pond, Shenandoah, Rappahannock River and Founders Hall Parking Deck reserved permits; Lot I, J and R reserved permits; and Arlington General permits available on a first come, first served basis. Parking Deck permits require a one-time
refundable deposit of $25 for an access device that will allow you to enter/exit the reserved areas of the parking deck (if you are purchasing the same Parking Deck parking permit from 2013-2014 your current access device will be reactivated). You will need
to obtain one of these access devices by visiting the appropriate Parking Services Office (Fairfax office is located next to the Shenandoah Parking Deck and is open Monday - Thursday, 8:30am-7pm and Friday from 8:30am-5pm. Arlington office is located in Room
219 of the Founders Hall Building and is open Monday – Thursday, 10am-7pm and Friday from 9am-5pm).
How do I purchase my parking permit?
All parking permits will be sold online and mailed directly to the address that you specify at the beginning of the purchasing process. Please note that permits are not effective until August 8, 2013 for the Fairfax campus. Arlington permits will
be valid from the moment of purchase. Upon completing your transaction online, you will be able to print off a temporary permit to place on your dashboard to begin using immediately while you wait for yours to arrive in the mail. These temporary permits
may be printed off at anytime by logging into your parking account, and going to “View Your Permits,” or by following the link sent to you via email following your transaction. Temporary permits are only valid for up to 10 calendar days from the date of purchase,
and are not valid before the permit’s printed effective date. If you do not receive your permit after 10 days, please visit one of our Parking Services Offices located on the Fairfax, Arlington and Prince William campuses to obtain a replacement.
