"B" Parking Permits for Graduate Students

Eligible Graduate students may purchase a “B” Parking Permit valid in most close-in parking lots and in the remote parking lots on campus. “B” permits may be purchased on an Annual basis, valid from July 1 through June 30, by the academic year, valid from September 1 through June 30, or on a Quarterly, Monthly, Weekly or Daily basis. Annual, Academic year and Quarterly "B" permits can be purchased on-line; Monthly, Weekly and Daily "B" permits must be purchased from the TAPS Sales Office.

"B" Limited Day Permits

Graduate students that have a regular schedule of 1, 2, 3, or 4 days per week should consider purchasing an "B" Limited Day permit; valid in all "B" and remote parking lots on campus. This permit is offered on an annual or quarterly basis and requires a pre–designated schedule of 1, 2, 3, or 4 days per week. The permit is valid only on the days of the week the purchaser designates and schedule must remain the same for an entire period of purchase.
Permits should be returned to the TAPS Sales Office for updating if days needed change.

Daily "B" Scratch-Off Packets

For those that occasionally need to bring a car to campus TAPS offers "B" scratch-off permits in a packet of 50; or up to one full packet per year in half-packet increments of 25. Those enrolled in an official carpool or UCSC vanpool may purchase up to one full packet of scratch-off permits per fiscal year (July 1st through June 30th). Additional packets beyond the amount stated above can be purchased; additional packets are priced at a 10% discount on the daily permit rate. Those that purchase scratch-off packets should allow 2 to 3 days for preparation of the packet. Packets should be picked up from the Main Entrance Kiosk when ready; the TAPS Sales Office does not mail out scratch-off permits.
