The Bursar has an appointment procedure for purchasing day parking permits. Faculty and staff need to use the queuing system that replaced the old ticketing process in the Wille Administrative Building.   Instead of going to the Bursar’s office and getting a printed ticket, you must sign up for an appointment online using your phone or computer.  You do not need to make an appointment for a reserved, evening, or a St. Nicholas Terrace permit. 

You can make an appointment with the Bursar when the period opens by going to https://kiosk.na8.qless.com/kiosk/app/home/227.  You will need to select the Parking Permits for Employees link. The appointments will be spread out over several days to alleviate long lines.   

A sufficient number of appointments will be available to accommodate the limited number of permits for sale.  Appointments in the middle or end of the purchase period does not mean you cannot purchase a day permit. 

There will be only one transaction allowed per appointment.  If you plan to purchase additional permits for colleagues or friends, you must make a separate appointment for each day permit you wish to purchase.   The cashiers will not process multiple purchases at the windows or walk-ins without appointments.  

If you miss your appointment, stop by or contact the Bursar’s Office at (212) 650-8700 for assistance. 

The Bursar does not accept online or mail-in payments for parking. Payments must be made with cash, check, or money order made out to:

SOME FAQS

The parking lots are closed on weekends, holidays, and between 10:30 PM and 7:00 AM on weekdays.

Purchasing a parking permit does not carry with it any rights, nor does it guarantee a parking space. CCNY merely agrees to allow a person to park his/her vehicle on the campus if they have a permit and if an authorized space is available.

If the vehicle is registered in another person then you will need a letter from that person stating that you are the driver of the vehicle.  

Our lots are commuter lots and not for residents or for storing a vehicle on CCNY property for personal reasons. It is a violation of this policy for a permitted vehicle to remain on CCNY property while the permit holder is engaging in non-CCNY related business. Anyone needing to leave their vehicle on CCNY property because of an emergency or other temporary circumstances must apply in writing to  parking@ccny.cuny.edu .

The permit holder assumes all responsibility for any damage and/or liabilities incurred to the vehicle while parked on CCNY property, including, but not limited to, theft, vandalism, damage to, or loss of, the vehicle or personal property contained in the vehicle. CCNY is not liable for personal injury, damage, theft, or loss of property arising from the exercise of parking privileges.

TO REPLACE A PERMIT:  If you lost or misplaced your permit you will have to pay $5 at the Bursar and bring the receipt to the Public Safety Parking Desk and write a statement as to how you believe the permit was lost or misplaced. You will need to fill out a new application but you won't have to bring the documents you provided when you first applied for a permit.    If your permit was stolen you will need to do the same as the above but the $5 fee will be waived if you have a copy of a Police Report.  

YOU PARK AT YOUR OWN RISK.

ANYONE CAUGHT VIOLATING PARKING RULES AND REGULATIONS CAN HAVE THEIR PARKING PERMIT REVOKED. VIOLATIONS INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO LENDING OR SELLING YOUR PERMIT, PARKING IN UNAUTHORIZED AREAS, MOVING TRAFFIC CONES WITHOUT PERMISSION, FAILING TO OBEY THE DIRECTIONS OF A PUBLIC SAFETY OR SECURITY OFFICER, DRIVING RECKLESSLY, DAMAGING OTHER VEHICLES OR COLLEGE PROPERTY WITH YOUR VEHICLE, ABUSING THE PRIVILEGES OF A DISABLED PARKING PERMIT, ETC.

ANYONE CAUGHT CREATING AND/OR USING A FRAUDULENT PERMIT CAN BE CHARGED CRIMINALLY AND HAVE THEIR PARKING PRIVILEGES SUSPENDED PERMANENTLY.

NEVER MOVE A CONE FROM A PARKING SPOT
YOU RISK HAVING YOUR PARKING PRIVILEGES REVOKED AND/OR HAVING YOUR CAR TOWED AWAY AT YOUR EXPENSE

NEW PROCEDURE:  YOU WILL NEED YOUR CUNYFIRST EMPLOYEE ID (EMPL ID) TO PAY AT THE BURSAR 

Students cannot obtain a day parking permit but they can purchase an evening permit for $300 a year or $150 for a half year.  Evening permits are valid from 3:00 PM to 10:30 PM on weekdays.

WE SELL YEARLY PERMITS.  WE DO NOT SELL SUMMER-ONLY PERMITS NOR DO WE SELL BY THE HOUR, DAY, WEEK, MONTH, OR SEMESTER. 

The parking lots are closed on weekends, holidays, and between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM on weekdays.
 

HOW DO I RENEW MY PERMIT?

If you renew a current Day Parking Permit that expires on December 31st, you may pay and pick up your renewal permit starting Thursday, November 30th.  You may start using the new permit on January 1st.  You can download the application here: PARKING APPLICATION.

I PAID IN FULL FOR THE FISCAL YEAR, WHAT DO I DO?

If you paid the full amount for the year you will still have to come to Public Safety with a completed application, your valid CCNY ID card, and your original Bursar's receipt to pick up their renewal permit.   If your ID Card sticker reads anything other than the current year then it is NOT VALID and you will need to get an updated ID sticker from the ID Office.  

HOW DO I GET A NEW PERMIT (NOT A RENEWAL)?  THE WAITING LIST

Once we run out of permits you will need to place your name on the waiting list.  You will do this by emailing parking@ccny.cuny.edu  using your CCNY Faculty or Staff email account Email with your request (NO AOL, Gmail, Hotmail, or any other private email account - No citymail.cuny.edu or any other CUNY email).  If a permit becomes available we will offer it to the next CCNY Faculty or Staff member on the waiting list.   The Waiting list is for the fiscal year which runs from July to June.  Your request expires at the end of the fiscal year.
