DePaul will no longer issue physical parking "hang tags" for students. Instead, your license plate will serve as your campus-parking permit. You must have your student ID or an access card to swipe in and out of the garages. Please make sure your vehicle is registered with the correct information prior to parking on campus.
2021/2022 Permit Cost: The cost of DePaul's Student 24-Hour Parking Permit will be $495 for the 2021/2022 academic year.
