About Buffalo State

Permits

All vehicles parked on campus, except those in metered areas, are required to display valid parking permits according to permit instructions. A vehicle may not display more than one permit at a time. Failure to display, or the improper display of, a parking permit is not an acceptable defense for parking violations. A fee is assessed for replacement permits.

Student Parking Permits

Student parking is by permit only and is valid only in areas designated as student parking. Students who wish to park on campus pay $70 per academic year (part-time or full-time) and $10 for a summer-only permit (part-time or full-time). Parking fee may be deferred with financial aid. A fee of $25 will be assessed for replacement student parking permits.
