Parking

Mission

Our mission is to provide a safe, secure, and convenient parking experience to all students, faculty, staff, and visitors of UT Southwestern. We strive to maintain a respectful and equitable parking environment while optimizing the efficient use of resources. We are committed to providing high-quality customer service that reflects the values of our university.

Offer Parking Services Feedback

There is no free parking. Faculty, staff, students, and affiliates who park a vehicle on
UT Southwestern property, whether the property is owned by UTSW or not, are required to pay parking fees. Fees are assessed at the beginning of each fiscal year. 

Why do I have to pay to park? State funds are prohibited from supporting Auxiliary Enterprises. Educational and general funds appropriated by the General Appropriations Act (GAA) to any institution or agency named in Article III may not be expended to support Auxiliary Enterprises. Auxiliary Enterprises are self-supporting businesses and activities at state agencies that provide services without using appropriated funds. Further information can be found in the following places: Article III, Section 6(8)(b) of the GAA; Texas Education Code 51.009 & 51.945; Texas Government Code 2252.061(1).

Parking registration for fiscal year 2025

Parking registration for fiscal year 2025 (FY25) begins Sunday, Sept. 1. Please review the information below about the registration process. While we strive to offer economical parking, there will be a 3% increase in parking fees for most employees for FY25. (Please note that to ease this increase, the current 12% discount for staff who make less than $50,000 annually will increase to 15%.)

Already have a permit paid via payroll deduction?

If you have a 2024 permit paid via payroll deduction, your permit will automatically renew, so no action is required on your part. (You may cancel your parking permit at any time via Parking Portal.)

Already have a permit paid using another method?

If you did not pay via payroll deduction, please visit the Parking Portal. Consider converting to payroll deduction to take advantage of auto-renewable permits in the future. If you do not remit payment through the portal or at one of the parking offices, your parking will not be renewed.

EV (Electric Vehicle) Charging Stations

UTSW now provides charging stations for EV drivers to plug in and power up. As part of our commitment to supporting sustainable programs, we’re excited to partner with ChargePoint to install our first Level 2 electric vehicle charging station. This is a pilot program.

  • Location: North Campus Garage 1 underneath buildings NA-NH.
  • Parking rule: Charging station parking is reserved for actively charging electric vehicles with active North Campus Garage 1 permits only.
  • Charging cost: $1/hour up to 4 hours, $5/hour thereafter.
  • An active EV permit is required to access North Campus Garage 1. 

How to Charge Your EV

After plugging in your vehicle, start a charging session by using the ChargePoint smartphone app. Make sure you are signed in to your account in the app. (Tesla drivers will need the Tesla charging adapter.)

Option 1: From the ChargePoint app, choose the station and click "Start Charge."

Option 2: Use "Tap to Charge" to wave your smartphone near the charger.

  • iPhone setup: In the ChargePoint app go to "Menu," select "Account," and then tap "Manage Cards." Pick "Set It Up” to add your ChargePoint pass to Apple Wallet.
  • Android setup: Go to the smartphone's settings menu and enable NFC.
