Refunds & Cancellations

Parking permits can be canceled and a full refund issued if the decal and receipt are presented to University Services within five business days of purchase.

If the permit is cancelled at a later date, the refund will be pro-rated, based on the cost of the permit at the time of purchase and the number of full unused months remaining.
