LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 30, 2013) — Student parking permit sales will begin May 1 for the 2013-2014 academic year for all University of Kentucky and Bluegrass Community and Technical College students. Application dates vary depending on the permit type and the student’s classification.

Students are encouraged to apply for a permit early, as permits are issued on a first-come, first-served basis. For a detailed list of application and enforcement dates, please visit the student permit calendar at www.uky.edu/pts/parking-permits_permit-calendar.

Students may apply for permits online at www.uky.edu/pts, through the mail or in person at University of Kentucky Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) in Parking Structure #6 (721 Press Avenue). Printable application forms can be found at www.uky.edu/pts/help-and-resources_forms.

Student permits will remain the same price for the upcoming academic year. Student C, R and K permits are $248 for the 2013-2014 academic year, while evening permits are $120. Students who require a motorcycle permit in addition to their vehicle permit should contact PTS directly after purchasing their permit.

New this year, students who choose to purchase K or C6 permits will have the option of purchasing their parking permit by the semester, rather than for the entire year. The single semester permits are $124.
