There is no grace period for parking at San Diego State University. Purchase of a permit requires the user register their vehicle when they purchase a virtual parking permit through the Aztec Parking Portal. Daily permits may be purchased online and linked to a vehicle license plate through our PayByPhone mobile application, or by utilizing an on campus pay station. Permits are non-transferrable and may not be shared with other vehicles. Parking in violation of regulations may result in a parking citation. California issues temporary plates for new cars. Please enter this as your temporary license plate in order to not receive a citation. Once your physical plate is received please contact Parking Services so we can change your vehicle to the correct plates. Please Note: Depending what residence hall you live, there are differing permits. Please email parking@sdsu.edu if you are unsure what permit is needed. If you are living in a property owned by Aztec Shops you will need to purchase a permit from them. Here is Aztec Shops Parking Information.
