Clarifying about the "two days" aspect of the offer-- is that two days after the offer, or two days including the day the permit was offered? For example, if an offer was sent on the 21st, would you have until the 23rd or the 22nd?

Drew Watzke

9:28

If you miss on resident, you could still receive an offer for a garage permit.

If you haven't receive an offer by Aug. 1, send us an email at parking@uark.edu and we will help out as best we can.

Just able to join, so I apologize if this has been asked. If you miss out on Resident Reserved Parking, can you go on a waitlist?

Drew Watzke

9:27

You will either receive a resident offer or a garage offer. We recommend accepting whichever one you receive.

Resident is the most popular permit type on campus.

Just during the work week

Sophia

9:26

Will permit offers be sent out over the weekend, or just during the work week?

Drew Watzke

9:25

Which residence hall?

Sara cress

9:25

If you get a resident reserve offer but would prefer a garage spot - can u choose that instead?

Drew Watzke

9:25

Unfortunately not. Email offers are required to be sent to UARK email accounts.

Cristalynn

9:25

Can we request that the offer be sent to the parents email? My student will be out of pocket for the next 3 weeks and won't be able to check her UArk email.

Drew Watzke

9:24

Yes, permit purchases are automatically added to the student account

Lisa Hale

9:24

Is there an option to have the cost added to the tuition bill?

Drew Watzke

9:24

It will, but if you receive an email offer you can purchase that permit!

Adam Chisholm

9:24

Will the parking garage by Futrall Hall sell out fast?

Drew Watzke

9:23

The $120 would be subtracted

Sophia

9:23

If you purchase a general student pass and then get an offer for the resident/garage parking, do you have to pay their full price, or is the $120 you already paid subtracted?

Drew Watzke

9:23

Yes

Sarah

9:23

Is it possible to request a full refund before the start of the school year if circumstances change and a student is unable to bring a car, but has already bought a pass?

Drew Watzke

9:22

You do not have to apply. You cannot purchase a resident or garage permit until you receive the email offer. Once you do, you can purchase that permit.

Kristen

9:22

Is it correct to wait to "apply" until my son gets the email that says he has an offer or was he supposed to do something before that? It sounds like some people have applied already for permits before offers went out?

Drew Watzke

9:21

Be on the lookout for a parking offer in your UARK email!

Cadence

What's the best for students that live in the Adohi Hall going to the Walton College of Business

Drew Watzke

9:20

You either have to have a permit to park on campus or you can pay for hourly parking in certain areas on campus. You can receive a citation if you park on campus illegally.

Sophia

9:20

Can you park anywhere on campus without a pass? What are the consequences if a person parks somewhere on campus without a pass? Are they fined/booted?

Drew Watzke

9:19

You do not have to fill out an application

Natalie Goodman

9:19

were we supposed to fill out an application or do we automatically get emails about parking?

Drew Watzke

9:18

Nope! You can purchase that permit any time starting July 28

Natalie Goodman

9:18

were we supposed to fill out an application even for general student parking

Drew Watzke

9:18

Yes. We recommend moving vehicles to Lot 500 (orange lot) before games. You cannot park in a garage with a student general permit.

Lucy Kennedy

9:18

for the student general one would i be moving my car for games? and then which garage would we be parking in

Drew Watzke

9:17

The general permit can park in any green lot and the orange lot. The economy permit can only park in the orange lot.

Reese Smith

9:17

Okay, thank you! What is the difference between the general permit and the economy permit?

Drew Watzke

9:17

Offers go out in the order students signed their housing contracts. Resident permits are the most popular and will fill first.

Mark coulter

9:17

Do they send the letters out in a specific order? Is there a way to determine when we should expect one? And are the garage options the most popular and tend to fill up the quickest.

Drew Watzke

9:16

Permits are purchased on myparkingaccount.uark.edu. The offer will come to UARK email accounts and give instructions on how to purchase on that website.

Cristalynn

9:16

Will the offer come and be accepted through workday or a different website?

Drew Watzke

9:15

We will sell out of those permits. We cannot predict at what point they will sell out - it differs every year.

Jim

9:15

What is the likelihood that the garage most convenient to Walton will sell out before everyone is offered a spot?

Drew Watzke

9:14

Yes
