Return and Half Year Parking Information

Returning a Permit 

The permit charge is a processing fee and not reflective of usage.

Student Permits purchased for the Fall which includes the Spring semester are eligible for full refund if the returned decal or emailed request for virtual permits is received within 7days of purchase. Or if ordered over the summer, this date will be 7days after the official start of Fall classes. After the 7days, partial refunds can be requested but requires Department approval through the rest of the Fall.

Student Permits purchased only for the Spring semester are eligible for a full refund if the returned decal or emailed request for virtual permits is received within 7days of purchase. Or if ordered over the winter break, this date will be 7days after the official start of Spring classes. No partial refunds will be issued in the Spring semester.

All refunds are issued to your Bursar Account.

Half Year Returning a Permit 

Students who purchased a Parking Permit for the year, but will not need a Parking Permit for the Spring Semester can return the permit for a 50% refund. Please scrape off decals and bring the pieces to the Parking Office during office hours. If you have the virtual permit, please send an email to parking@villanova.edu to have the 50% refund processed. The deadline for this type of credit to be refunded is the end of the first week of Spring semester.  

Purchasing for Spring Semester 

Students who need to purchase a Parking Permit for the Spring Semester will need to Register on the Parking Portal. Registration for the Spring Semester begins the last week of Fall semester. Please add your vehicle (have a copy of your vehicle registration available for upload) and purchase the available permit on the Parking Portal.

Please note: If a lot is waitlisted, ordering the permit that is available will add you to the waitlist. If space is available in a waitlisted lot, we will contact you in the order the other permits were purchased.
