* For the purpose of enforcing parking permit requirements at UCSC, virtual parking permits (e.g., ParkMobile payments) will be accepted, where applicable, in lieu of displaying a physical parking permit. A virtual parking permit means that the license plate of the vehicle being parked serves as the valid permit authorizing parking in specified locations, for a specific time. On the UCSC campus, this is done at specified locations through a pay by phone parking application (i.e., ParkMobile), or the electronic pay machine servicing a specific location.
