Garage Pay Station

These four (4) parking garages; Lubar, NWQ, Pavilion, and Union, on campus use the same payment methods.
  1. Pull Ticket – Pushing the appropriate button will dispense a parking ticket. Users can use this ticket with pay stations or the exit station to pay for parking.
  2. PantherCard (Student / Faculty ID) — If the user has the appropriate permit registered with their account, they can scan their Panthercard to open the gate. License plate recognition (LPR) cameras may recognize your vehicle and grant you entry/exit in Lubar, NWQ, and Pavilion Garages.
  3. ParkMobile – The ParkMobile app will generate a barcode that is scanned by the machine. It will automatically connect the users parking to their account.

If you have questions, you can contact Transportation Services using one of the following methods:
