Registration for 2017-2018 parking permits will open at 8 a.m. July 10. At that time, students may apply online at http://portal.semo.edu. Students who do not have access to the internet may apply over the phone by calling Parking Services at (573) 651-2310. Students should apply using only one method. Regardless of which method a student chooses when applying, students will be placed in the lottery and sorted according to student seniority.
Students also must pay their account balance by 4 p.m. Friday, July 28. Balances should be either paid in full, covered by guaranteed financial aid or students should enroll in and make the first payment toward their Installment Payment Plan (IPP) for the fall 2017 semester.For a full list of payment options, visit www.semo.edu/sfs/options.
Registration for all parking permits will close at 4 p.m. July 28. Online registration for perimeter, evening only and employee permits will reopen on July 31 at 8 a.m. The preferred permit lottery will be conducted Aug. 7, during which the preferred decals will be assigned. Because distribution of the preferred decals is assigned using a lottery, the time at which a student applies does not affect the chances of getting preferred parking. It is important to apply and make appropriate payment before the lottery closes July 28.
Preferred parking decals will be assigned into these allotments:
- 55 percent will be distributed to students with 90 or more hours.
- 30 percent will go to students with 60 to 89 hours.
- 15 percent will be distributed to students with 30 to 59 hours.
Students applying for preferred permits who are not drawn in the lottery may choose to be placed on a waiting list. To be added to the preferred permit waiting list, a student must accept a perimeter parking permit. Students will be placed on the waiting list for their first choice lot based upon cumulative hours. Students on the waiting list will receive a perimeter decal and become eligible for preferred parking from the waiting list as space becomes available. Students who are not drawn in the lottery and who decline a perimeter parking permit will not be placed on a waiting list and will not be eligible for a preferred permit for the 2017-2018 academic year.
Two or more individuals who ride together and arrive and depart the campus at the same time may purchase a car pool permit. To purchase a car pool permit, students should not apply for the preferred parking lottery or for perimeter parking. Requests for car pool permits should be made in person at the Parking Services office after Aug. 14. Each member of the car pool must be present at the time of application.
Parking permits will not be mailed. Commuter students as well as Resident students can pick up their decals at the Parking office, 1401 N. Sprigg Street in front of the Show Me Center, beginning Aug. 14 or when they return to campus for the fall semester. For one day only, resident students will pick up their permits from the Student Recreation Center-North adjacent to the Show Me Center, during residence hall move-in on Thursday, Aug. 17.
