CU Boulder features "virtual" parking听access,听with no need for printed hang tags. The vehicle's license plate information is registered and associated with the parking access, so your license plate is used to identify your vehicle and is valid to park in only the听specific听lot or zone you purchase.

Payment options include both pretax and post-tax payroll deductions which occur at the end of the month for which you had a permit. Permits with a start date on or after the 15th of the month will have your first month's price prorated to $30.00. Ongoing deductions will continue until you submit a request for cancellation of their permit.听Requests for cancellation must be effective听before the end of the month听to avoid being听billed for the next month.听Payment is non-refundable.
