PERMIT AUTHORITY
The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO), through the Board of Regents and its administrative officers, is empowered by the State law (Section 85-106) to establish parking and traffic regulations and to invoke penalties for violating such regulations. Pursuant to authority granted by the State of Nebraska and assignment of responsibilities by the Board of Regents, it is the duty of UNO Parking and Transit Services in partnership with UNO Public Safety to administer and enforce all parking and traffic regulations on properties owned, leased, and/or contracted for use by the Board of Regents.
Parking facilities and permits are managed by UNO Parking and Transit Services. Permits and authorization are issued by UNO Parking and Transit Services to a specific individual or department. Ownership is not transferable and may not be sold, exchanged, given away to any person or department other than UNO Parking and Transit Services.
All permit holders are responsible for reading and understanding all parking rules and regulations as found on this website and for agreeing to abide by them while parking at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO).
Parking permits may not be duplicated, reproduced, or altered in any way without the express authorization of UNO Parking and Transit Services.
VIRTUAL PERMITS, LPR, AND VEHICLE REGISTRATION
UNO uses a virtual permit system. A valid virtual permit is a non-physical permit that is associated to a vehicle license plate state and number and the vehicle description. The license plate of a vehicle parked on campus must be prominently displayed at all times in the front or rear of the vehicle. License plates must be securely fastened in an upright position on the vehicle in the appropriate locations.
UNO uses Automated License Plate Reader (LPR) technology to manage campus parking facilities. The LPR system follows a set of policies and practices in accordance with University rules and regulations. Vehicles must park so a prominently displayed affixed license plate is visible from the patrol vehicle from the adjacent drive aisle.
Accuracy of license plate information, including both plate number and state issued, and vehicle information are necessary to avoid citations. Please contact UNO Parking and Transit Services with any changes by phone 402.554.7275 or email unoparking@unomaha.edu. Failure to do so may result in a citation.
For your convenience, you are able to associate two (2) vehicles with your virtual permit, however, only one vehicle at a time is allowed to park on campus. Please contact UNO Parking and Transit Services with questions.
Valid permits are required on regular enforcement and valid-permit parking days. See the Parking Enforcement Schedule for days when permits are not required, commonly referred to as “open-parking”.
A valid permit is required from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. (Mondays-Thursdays) and 7 A.M. to 5 P.M. (Fridays) during regular enforcement.
Valid permits have restrictions between the hours of 7 A.M. - 2:30 P.M. for faculty, staff, and commuter students, and between 7 A.M. - 5 P.M. for resident students.
Registering a Newly Purchased Vehicle or Rental Vehicle
Newly purchased vehicles and rental vehicles need to be registered to a current permit. Please contact UNO Parking and Transit Services at unoparking@unomaha.edu or 402.554.7275 for assistance with this. Please do not register in-transit or dealer plates. If the vehicle does not have license plates, please register the complete VIN by contacting UNO Parking and Transit Services. A VIN can only be registered until issuance of a state license plate. After receiving plates, contact UNO Parking and Transit Services to update your vehicle on your account and link it to your permit. If a vehicle is displaying plates, UNO Parking and Transit Services will not look for VINs, and a citation will be issued on a plate if not registered.
If a new vehicle is added, please ensure the vehicle is listed on the active permit on the permits page of MavPark.
FACULTY AND STAFF PARKING PERMIT INFORMATION
Faculty/Staff surface lot permits are restricted to Faculty/Staff surface and mixed lots from 7 A.M. to 2:30 P.M. (Mondays-Fridays). After these restrictions end, these permits may park in any general-use space, including lots: F, G, K, N at Dodge Campus, and Lot 2 at Scott campus. Faculty/Staff permits are not valid in Resident lots or Visitor spaces.
Faculty/Staff garage permits can be purchased for the East Parking Garage (EPG), West Parking Garage(WPG), or Pacific Parking Garage (PPG), with limited availability. Faculty/Staff garage permits are restricted to the garage indicated on the permit from 7 A.M. to 2:30 P.M. (Mondays-Fridays). After these restrictions end, these permits may park in any general-use space. Faculty/Staff permits are not valid in Resident lots or Visitor spaces. (See Garage Parking for more details).
There are sales limits in place for the East and West Parking Garages. Once those sales limits have been reached, the permits will no longer be for sale, and an announcement will be made by Parking and Transit Services. Those still interested in a limited garage permit after the limit is reached may contact unoparking@unomaha.edu to be placed on a waitlist. Parking and Transit Services will monitor the garages, and if conditions allow, those on the waitlist will be contacted to exchange their permit until the limit is once again reached.
Level 3 (the top level) of the East Parking Garage is not a surface lot. Surface lot permits are not valid to park on level 3 of the East Parking Garage until after 2:30 P.M.
Faculty/Staff with “Night-Only” permits, valid after 2:30 P.M., needing to park on campus before 2:30 P.M., may pay to park with a day/hour permit. Faculty/Staff permits are not valid in Resident lots or Visitor spaces.
The Faculty/Staff Surface/Garage combination permit is valid in and restricted to the East Parking Garage (EPG), West Parking Garage (WPG) and Pacific Parking Garage (PPG) along with all Faculty/Staff surface lots in general-use spaces from 7 A.M. to 2:30 P.M. (Mondays-Fridays). After these restrictions end, these permits may park in any general-use space. Faculty/Staff permits are not valid in Resident lots or Visitor spaces.
Short-term Day/hour parking is available in Lots A, C, and the designated spaces in other lots, the West Parking Garage (WPG) and Pacific Parking Garage (PPG) all day and East Parking Garage (EPG) after 12:30 P.M. More information on Short-term parking here.
Permanent and Temporary State-Issued ADA Parking Permits
Valid UNO permits are required to park in ADA spaces in UNO lots and garages, in addition to the state-issued ADA permit. If no designated ADA spaces are available, vehicles with valid UNO and ADA permits may park in any open faculty/staff or student parking facility in any general-use space.
ADA permit holders need to register their ADA permit with Parking and Transit Services by sending a photo of their current state-issued ADA permit hangtag and card.
ADA permits must be displayed properly.
PURCHASING A PARKING PERMIT
Permits are purchased online at the MavPark online portal, or at the UNO Parking and Transit Services building during regular office hours. Accurate license plate information, including state and number, and vehicle information, including vehicle identification number (VIN), make, model, and color, is required to purchase a permit.
For UNO affiliated Faculty/Staff, the MavPark site requires a NETID/password to login.
Faculty/Staff employed at .50 FTE or higher can elect to pay for their annual permit with credit or debit card, or the payroll deduction option, when purchasing online. Part-time Faculty/Staff under .49 FTE must pay for their permit with credit or debit card online.
After purchase, a notification of permit purchase and details of the permit will be issued the following business day to the registered UNO email address of the purchaser.
It is the responsibility of the permit holder to contact UNO Parking and Transit Services with any changes to plate or vehicle information. Registering a license plate or vehicle information inaccurately or failing to register a plate or vehicle prior to parking on campus will result in a citation.
A license plate may only be registered on one (1) account, not multiple accounts, at a time.
While multiple vehicles may be registered to the account, only two (2) vehicles can be linked to one active permit, including rental and temporary vehicles when needed. When a vehicle is no longer used, it should be removed from the account. Two (2) vehicles sharing one (1) permit cannot be parked on campus at the same time to avoid a misuse of permit citation.
Faculty/Staff may purchase only one (1) active long-term permit.
Anyone seeking to purchase a permit must clear all outstanding citations prior to purchasing a new permit.
To exchange or upgrade a permit, submit a request at UNO Parking and Transit Services, or email unoparking@unomaha.edu. Requests may take twenty-four (24) hours to process. An email with the new permit details will be sent the next business day after processing.
Returned Check Policy
Individuals who stop payment on checks used to pay parking fees or fines, or who write insufficient funds checks for parking fees or fines, will automatically be deemed a nuisance violator.
The permit renewal will be held. The individual will be required to pay with cash or money order to satisfy the
amount of the check and any additional violation penalties or fees. The returned check fee is thirty dollars ($30).

PARKING PERMIT CANCELLATIONS, EXCHANGES, AND REFUNDS
Parking Permit Cancellation Policy
Employees are responsible for canceling their own parking assignments. It is not the responsibility of the manager or department to cancel an employee’s parking. UNO Parking and Transit Services will not cancel parking without the employee’s consent and request by email to unoparking@unomaha.edu, unless UNO Payroll provides proof of separation.
Faculty/Staff Refunds and Exchanges
Refunds will not be issued if outstanding citations or permit fees remain on MavPark or MavLink. Faculty/Staff that seek to cancel their permit before expiration must contact unoparking@unomaha.edu. If the permit was on payroll deduction, payroll deduction will be stopped after last outstanding payment is deducted. Permits are billed one month in arrears, so there will generally be one last deduction in the month after the permit is returned for refund. If the permit was purchased by cash or credit, a prorated refund of each full month the permit remains valid will be processed.
To obtain a refund, contact Parking and Transit Services at unoparking@unomaha.edu. No Refunds are provided for daily/hourly permit options.
To exchange/upgrade a permit, a refund will be issued on the current permit based on the refund policy. After a refund is issued, the individual requesting the upgrade may purchase the new permit online.
