Guest Parking
Guest parking is available for community members who are not Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ students, faculty, or staff and are attending an official, organized Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ event. Digital permits are issued to the Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ host or event coordinator, who shares them with invited guests. All requests must be submitted by a Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ-affiliated host — guests should not submit requests on their own behalf.
This service is not for attendees.
Guest parking permits must be requested by the Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ department hosting the guest.
How to submit a request
Use the link above to complete the request form. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see the quick guide below.
Who is responsible for submitting the request?
The Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ event organizer or host must submit the request — not the guests. Guests do not have access to this system and should not attempt to request parking on their own.
How far in advance should I submit?
Submit your request at least two weeks before the event date. Requests received within 48 hours of the event are considered last-minute and cannot be guaranteed. Requests are reviewed approximately two weeks before the event. For urgent needs, contact the Parking Office directly — same-day turnaround may not be possible.
Are there additional requirements for student events?
Yes. Student events must also be approved on before a guest parking request is submitted.
What if my event involves a street closure?
Requests involving street closures will be reviewed for public safety impacts. PTS will provide recommendations as part of the review process.
After you submit
You will receive a confirmation email once your request is received. If you have not heard back within two business days, contact us at parking@utep.edu.
