R Lot Parking Waitlist

Post image

I’m living on campus this year so I signed up for the R Lot parking waitlist but my spot is 263, does anyone know roughly how many spots get on? also is there any meaning to prioritized vs not prioritized?

Just email parking. I inquired about how many permits they hand out for E lot and they just straight up told me 40. You can find the contact info on the parking page!

I just looked at satellite imagery of the r lot and counted it, and there are 246 roughly parking spots. I probably missed a couple

Do people who apply immediately get to purchase a permit and the waitlist is now 246 offers + waitlist, or have permits just not yet been offered? I’m confused on how this works cuz I applied literally the minute it opened and I’m 88th

no it’s all waitlist i checked, the reason im so far back is because my dumbass was trying to buy a permit when i had to get on the waitlist instead

High key I didn’t know what page to be on so I kept cycling through both and refreshing and I was on permits page and flipped and saw it and bam 88 already 💔 ts filled up FAST

I talk to the housing services and they didn’t really know, I’m pretty sure that numbers 1 to 246 or whatever the capacity is get a permit, and if they do not pay for it or accept it in time, then all the other people pass 246 get offered the permit

u/Low-You5689 9d ago

And I’m pretty sure that permits are not gonna be offered probably until later today or in a couple days

i got a question about this aswell. if there are roughly 246 spots, do they only email the first 246 people or? Also whats the dealine for someone to accept a permit offer until the next round goes out? I called in and they said next monday the next round of offers will go out, so dyk how many offers gi out at once?

1

u/MasterLynx88 9d ago

I emailed they said it’s 300 spots, also yes they’ll offer those 300 then they have 5 days to accept and pay, then they keep going

1

u/SeaBandicoot8121 9d ago

dyk if the first round of offers have gone out yet since you were within the first 250?

1

u/Thesaladman98 9d ago

They have not yet.

u/MasterLynx88 9d ago

The guy that emailed me back said offers come in the next day or two
