Vehicle Registration

The Green/Remote Parking Permit is the basic parking plan at Valpo. This permit allows access to Green/Remote parking lots only. These parking areas are furthest from the campus core and are intended for long-term parking. Green Parking Permits are available to all students who qualify for parking permits, with the exception of resident freshmen. If you are only enrolled in evening classes (after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays), this permit would be an ideal option as you can park in any Commuter or Resident area after 5:00 p.m. provided you have a campus permit.

***All registration fees are non-transferable and non-refundable.***
