At the end of the purchasing process, you will have the option to print a temporary permit that you can use while you wait for the official permit to arrive. If you’re unsure which parking permit is right for you, view a full list of permit options and explore our color-coded parking maps to determine which permit allows you to park in your preferred location. Remember, UTSA parking permits are valid on all UTSA campuses – this means you can use your permit at the Southwest Campus, as well as any of our other campuses.
