PATS offers UNM schools, colleges, and departments four types of scratcher parking permits:

1. Daily/Weekly Guest Permits are to be utilized by visiting lecturers or speakers contributing to the mission of The University without financial compensation. Guest permits are sold in bulk at reduced rates to UNM departments for daily or weekly use. Guest permits may NOT be issued to any paid staff, faculty, student, vendor, or contractor. Resale of guest permits are strictly forbidden.
2. Daily Resale Permits are for paid staff, faculty, student, vendor, or contractor for parking in close proximity to the organization on a day-to-day basis not to exceed three (3) days per quarter. Daily resale permits are to be purchased from PATS directly at face value and may be resold to end users at the amount paid for the permit. UNM departments are NOT allowed to sell parking permits on campus to groups or individuals for a profit. All charges to any individual for parking must be reported and transferred to PATS.
3. Weekly Resale Permits are for participants in conferences or workshops that charge registration fees or that are not purchased by Purchase Requisition (PR). Weekly resale permits are to be purchased from PATS directly at face value and may be resold to end users at the amount paid for the permit. UNM departments are NOT allowed to sell parking permits on campus to groups or individuals for a profit. All charges to any individual for parking must be reported and transferred to PATS.

*Rush charges apply to orders received within less than five (5) business days.

UNM departments based in locations not regulated by PATS or UNM Hospital are eligible to purchase Departmental Permits. Departmental Permits are for the use of remote staff doing short-term official UNM business on main campus.

Reserved Parking Spaces

UNM departments requiring a more convenient, regular parking arrangement for guests may opt to purchase reserved parking spaces. In some cases, reserved spaces can be place in an area at the department's request.

UNM departments with staff who provide services or attend meetings around campus may apply for a departmental rover permit. Due to their nature, the issuance of rover permits are tightly regulated to avoid misuse. Departments must provide sufficient justification that there is no other solution for personnel to adequately perform their job function without a rover permit in their applications. To apply for a rover permit, please download the Standard Rover Terms and Conditions Agreement and attach to the Rover Permit Request Application. Please note that the signed form attachment is required to submit your application.

Rover Permit Rate: $145/year
