PARKING TIPS
Parking is tight at the beginning of each semester.
Expect parking to be at near capacity during the first two weeks of the
semester. Nearly EVERYONE will be on campus, attending class, buying
books, paying tuition, etc. By the third week of classes, traffic and
parking patterns settle down.
Parking permits are required, whenever the University is open.
It’s best to buy your permit online before classes start.
If you don’t have a permit:
• Plan to pay to park in a Visitor deck or metered lot.
• Purchase a daily temporary permit from Parking and Transportation
Services for $6 per day. Temporary permits do not provide access to
gated lots and decks.
Expect decks and lots closest to the center of campus to fill quickly.
Most classes are scheduled from about 9 AM to 2 PM, Monday –
Thursday.
Peak parking demand occurs during that time. Everyone wants to park
as close as they can to main classroom buildings so competition for
close-in parking is stiff.
Parking areas that fill up earliest are:
• East Deck 2
• Union Deck
• Lot 18 (beside Union Deck)
• Lot 19 (in front of Union Deck)
• West Deck
• Lot 7 (between Cone Deck and Belk Gym)
During peak class times, it’s usually faster and easier to park farther
out and walk or take the campus shuttle to academic areas.
Average time to get to center of campus from outlying parking
(based on maximum bus run-time wait):
• Shuttle from Lot 6 to campus center: 10 minutes; walk time: 10
minutes.
• Shuttle from North Deck to campus center: 10 minutes; walk time:
10-15 minutes.
• Shuttle from South Village Deck to campus center: 10 minutes; walk
time: 10 minutes.
UNC Charlotte has sufficient parking at all times.
Ample parking is typically available in areas away from the center of
campus, even during peak-use hours.

Have a plan in mind for an alternate parking area if your first choice
is full.
• Do a practice run. Park at a lesser-used parking deck or lot (like
North Deck, South Village Deck or Lot 6) and locate the nearest
shuttle stop. Then you’ll know exactly where to park and where to
catch the bus if you don’t wish to walk.
• After you see how easy it is to get from where you’ve parked to where
you’re going, it will be easy and familiar to park there on days when
your favorite parking is full.
• There’s NO REASON to park illegally in a full lot or deck and risk
getting a citation.
• There’s NO REASON to drive around a deck until you are late for
class.
Do not let others in or out of gated areas with your permit
• For assistance, access controlled areas have call buttons near the
gate.
• Or call 704-687-0161; if gates are down, Call Center is open.

PARKING PERMITS
TRAFFIC TIPS
Everyone who buys a permit is able to park.
• Peak traffic times are 7:45 AM – 9:15 AM and 5 PM – 6 PM.
• PARK ONCE. Driving from one area of campus to another makes
traffic worse. It’s easier and often faster to take the shuttle, walk, or
bike.
• If leaving campus between 5 and 6 PM, avoid exiting to John Kirk
Drive by way of Van Landingham Rd. near Fretwell. Try using Mary
Alexander Rd. to Mallard Creek Church Rd. or the bottom level of
East Deck 2 that exits directly to Rt. 49 South (University City Blvd).
• If arriving on campus between 5 and 6 PM, avoid the John Kirk Drive
entrance at Van Landingham Rd., near Fretwell. Enter campus by
using Cameron Blvd., the Front entrance, Mary Alexander Rd., or the
bottom level of East Deck 2 from 49 South (University City Blvd).
• Pedestrians have the right-of-way at all crosswalks on campus unless
there is a traffic signal, which takes precedence. The traffic circle at
Mary Alexander and Van Landingham Roads and the crosswalk in
front of the Student Union are controlled by a traffic signal, which
must be obeyed by both pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
VISITOR PARKING
There are five visitors decks on campus
• Cone Visitors (Deck 1 Level 3 and Deck 2 Level 2)
• Union Deck Visitors (Levels 4-6)
• East Deck 1
• CRI Deck
• South Village Deck (Level 1)
Visitors Parking Deck Fees
• $1 per half hour, $10 maximum daily/per visit
• Visitors decks accept validated tickets or cash or credit card
payments at pay-on-foot stations
How to use a pay-on-foot station
• Take a timed ticket at entrance gate. Keep ticket with you. (Lost ticket
or no form of payment will cost $15)
• Upon leaving but before returning to car, insert the timed ticket into
the pay station, and pay the amount due indicated on the screen.
Cash (no coins) and credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx) payments
accepted. The pay station will credit the ticket and allow 10 minutes
to return to vehicle and proceed to the exit lane.
• When in the exit lane, insert ticket in to the “exit verifier” and the
gate will raise.
Metered and Pay-By-Space Parking
• Lot 4 (in front of East 3) and Lot 30 (front of Cone Center) offer payby-space parking.
• Metered and pay-by-space parking is limited and fills quickly.
• Metered and pay-by-space parking areas are enforced 24 hours a
day, seven days a week, except when the University is closed.
• Vehicles with valid permits have to pay if parked at meters.
• Time limits vary from one location to another but rates and times are
posted under the timer of the meter or at the pay station.
• Do not park at meters reading “OUT OF ORDER.” Please report a
malfunctioning meter to 704-687-0161.
How to use a pay-by-space station
• Park vehicle; identify space number
• Pay at pay station for time required
ADA Visitor Parking for Disabled Visitors is provided in:
• Lot 28 (by Robinson Hall) pay-by-space
• Lot 30, (by Reese Administration Bldg.) pay-by-space
• East Deck 1
• Union Deck
• Cone Deck
• CRI Deck
• South Village Deck
The price is the same for students, faculty, and staff and there is enough
parking for everyone. Parking is regulated by an ordinance adopted by
the UNC Charlotte Board of Trustees.

PERMIT FAQs
Where can I purchase a permit?
Permits may be purchased online or in the Parking and Transportation Services Office (building #23 on Campus Map). Office hours are
Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM - 5 PM. During the Fall and Spring
registration periods, Student Permit pick-up and purchase stations are
set up in the Student Union and hours are extended.
What if I have to wait on a financial aid refund until I can buy a permit?
If you’re unable to purchase a permit before classes and permit
enforcement begins, you may buy a temporary permit from Parking and
Transportation Services for $6 per day.
Where can I park without a permit?
Visitor decks and metered parking areas are the only places where
vehicles without permits may park.
Where can I park if I forget my permit?
If you’ve purchased a permit and just forgot it, a temporary permit
can be issued at the PaTS Office. Permit holders may get up to ten (10)
temporary day permits per year for their registered vehicle at no charge.
Are refunds available if I withdraw from or leave the University?
People who return permits may receive a prorated refund based on
the date of purchase and date of return. Night and Two-day permits may
not be refunded after the second week of class that semester. The list of
prorated refund amounts is at pats.uncc.edu/permits.
I’m graduating in December; may I buy a permit just for fall semester?
All full-time permits are for the academic year. But if you
graduate or withdraw before April 15, return your permit for a
prorated refund. Refund schedule: pats.uncc.edu/permits.
Are permits required on weekends?
Yes. Permits are required at all times.
What should I do if my permit is lost or stolen?
If a permit is lost, come to the Parking and Transportation Services
office to complete an affidavit and get a replacement permit. A $15
replacement fee will be charged. If permit was stolen, contact police in
the area where the theft occurred and bring the police report to the PaTS
office. There is no replacement fee for stolen permits when a police
report is presented.
May I buy a permit from another person or use one I’ve found?
No. Permits are only valid when purchased through PaTS (online or in
person). They may not be resold or reused because they are registered
to a specific person and vehicle. Using a found permit may subject you
to fines and other penalties. Return found permits to the PaTS Office or
Campus Police.
Why doesn’t PaTS sell three-day per week permits?
A three-day permit yields the consumer no appreciable saving over a
full-time permit.
What should I do if I change cars?
Contact Parking and Transportation Services right away so the vehicle
can be added to your registration. Come by the PaTS Office or call 704687-0161 to update vehicle information. Only a permit owner can make
changes and vehicle information cannot be updated online.
What should I do if I temporarily need todrive another car to campus?
In circumstances where you have a rental or need to use another vehicle for a few days, go to the PaTS office, provide us with the substitute
vehicle’s information, then get a temporary permit. All full year parking
permit holders are allowed to get up to 10 days’ worth of temporary
hangtags per year, at no charge.
Are there special permits for motorcycles and mopeds?
2016-17
Motorcycles and mopeds have electronic permits linked
POLICY
to the vehicle license plate. There are lower priced permits CHANGE
available for parking in designated motorcycle/moped
areas or, if used as a secondary vehicle, a motorcycle or moped can be
added to a full-time permit at no extra charge and be allowed to park
in any space appropriate to that permit. Only one vehicled registered
to that permit is allowed on campus at a time.
Requiring registration and permitting of mopeds is a change driven
by the North Carolina Department of Transportation which now recog-
nizes mopeds as “motor vehicles.” Mopeds will be treated like motorcycles with no access via sidewalks, bike racks, etc. Visit or call the PaTS
office for more information.
Are there special permits for carpools?
Carpools need to be registered with PaTS; each carpool uses a single
permit with multivehicle registration. The carpool permit is allowed
10 temporary day permits at no charge for those exceptions when a
carpool member needs to drive separately. For more information about
carpools, please visit or call the PaTS office for details. ShareTheRideNC.
org offers free carpool partner matching.
What determines the price of a permit?
The primary factor that determines permit price is the cost of new
deck construction and replacing flat lots taken for new buildings, with
decks. It’s expensive to build and maintain new parking decks necessary
to accommodate enrollment and demand. Learn more: pats.uncc.edu/
truth
How are the proceeds from permits spent?
The majority of the permit proceeds and Visitor Parking fees go
toward construction of new decks, to pay debt on existing decks, and for
repairs and maintenance of all decks and lots. A small percentage is put
toward operations of the campus shuttle plus utilities to light the decks
and lots, trash collection, cameras, personnel, etc. Learn more: pats.
uncc.edu/truth
Is it true that more permits are sold than the University has spaces?
Yes. If permits were sold on a one-permit-to-one-space system, thousands of students would be denied the privilege to park while lots and
decks would sit half empty. Few students occupy a space for more than
five or six hours a day and spaces turn over constantly. Sure, convenient,
close-in parking gets full during peak class hours, but so far, PaTS has
maintained an acceptable percentage of open spaces. That’s why measures like permit sales limits and excluding freshmen have so far been
avoided.

FAQs about Citations
Where do I pay citations?
Citations may be paid by mail or in person at the PaTS Office. The first
three (3) citations in an academic year, if paid within 10 days, are automatically reduced by 50% (with the exception of False Registration and
parking in a space or accessibility ramp reserved for the disabled).
What if I don’t agree with the citation?
A written appeal must be filed within ten (10) business days; an online
appeal form is available. Please allow 24 hours from time of issuance to
file appeal. All appeals are read and considered; decisions are emailed.
How are the proceeds from citations spent?
According to North Carolina law, the University is only allowed to
retain 20% of the money collected from parking citations. The remaining
80% must be remitted to the state to support local public schools (elementary, middle and high schools).

Citation FAQs continued
The 20% that UNC Charlotte is allowed to keep is earmarked to cover
operating costs for citation collections. Unfortunately, the cost of the
enforcement and collections program significantly exceeds this amount.
Can I park at a malfunctioning meter?
Sorry, no, you may get a ticket for that. Move your vehicle to another
meter and please report the malfunction to Parking and Transportation
Services, 704-687-0161.
Will I lose my parking privileges if I get too many tickets?
Parking and Transportation Services has the authority to tow or boot a
vehicle if violation tickets total four (4) or more or unpaid deck vouchers
total seven (7) or more. Parking privileges are then revoked and your
vehicle will remain on the Tow List until the account is cleared.
I wasn’t driving my car at the time of the citation. Do I have to pay it?
The person to whom a permit is issued is responsible for parking
violations cited to the vehicle for which the permit is issued.
