One to two weeks prior to the start of the semester, visit the Security desk to pick up your parking pass. Be sure to bring your signed vehicle registration and know your student ID number.
If you successfully completed your ID Card setup through the Transact eAccount app, your ID card should be ready for pick up at the security desk along with your building access fob keychain.
