PALM BEACH ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY

Permits for the spring term of the 2024/25 academic year are now available for purchase. 

ALL students must register their vehicle and purchase a parking permit to park on PBA owned or leased properties.   

Students will not be eligible to purchase a permit until they have completed all items in their enrollment checklist. Permits and pricing are PER SEMESTER and are non-refundable.  

Here are a few things to keep in mind when purchasing your permit:  

• New Payment Option - External Through Agency: For permits requiring a payment option, you may continue to pay securely via your debit/credit card information. For our students who wish to apply the permit price to their spring semester student bill, you may select the External Through Agency option. Note: this option was only available through January 17th, 2025. At that time, payment by debit or credit returned to being the only available payment option. 

• If you selected the “External through Agency” payment option, the price of the permit being purchased will be applied to your student account. Please note that this charge will be separate from the Resource Fees associated with your tuition costs (eg. public safety, transportation, etc.). A permit-related hold may be added to your account if sufficient funds are not applied promptly, or per your payment plan. Please contact the Student Accounts Office at 561.803.2152 with any questions related to this option. 

• Permits are digitally associated with your license plate at the time of purchase, but are to be accompanied by a sticker decal, per University policy. Please keep in mind that it can take two weeks to receive your decal in the mail.  Please provide the mailing address for your decal to be sent to. If you are a residential student, we urge you to include the Mail Room address at 1301 South Olive Avenue for a short processing time. Commuter students and employees may include an appropriate residential/mailing address.   

• When you complete the purchase of your parking permit, you will receive an email confirming your purchase with a printable Temporary Pass. This pass serves as a temporary placeholder for the decal purchased. If your decal order is not fulfilled within 14 business days, please contact the Department of Public Safety at 561.803.2500 - should this temporary pass expire without your notification, you will be subject to penalty for the improper display of your registration decal. 

• One permit per student/staff: no sharing of permits is allowed. University Parking Permits must be affixed and unobstructed on the lower-left corner of the rear windshield (driver's side).  Permits affixed to the front windshield, atop other stickers, camouflaged or obstructed in any way will be deemed invalid. 

• Strict parking enforcement begins January 13, 2025. This means you should plan to purchase your permit before the start of the spring semester.  There will be ZERO tolerance for any vehicle parked in a space marked “reserved,” a designated fire lane, or in a handicapped space without a proper handicap permit.  Vehicles found in violation are immediately subject to fines, immobilization, and tow.
