Wait List

Please send an email to parking@uic.edu with your name, UIN, and up to three parking lots in order of preference. Remember, if you do not have a current parking assignment, you will have low priority. You may also add your name by calling any of the Parking Offices or at the time of applying for a parking assignment.

When a space becomes available, Campus Parking will contact you via email with instructions on how to transfer the assignment. Unless directly expressed by the Parking Office, you must transfer to the offered lot by the deadline stated in the email. If you fail to respond or transfer, you will be removed from the wait list.  If you are offered a lot from one of your wait list options, you will only remain on the wait list for any lot you have listed as a higher preference.

1. Highest priority will be given to parkers with current parking assignments. Those who cancel their parking assignments will lose their place on the wait list(s). Individuals without parking assignments will have low priority on the wait list.
2. Request date, not seniority, determines the placement on the wait list.
3. If two parkers have the same request date, the customer with the most seniority in the parking program will receive the assignment.
4. Parkers who are on sabbatical or any other authorized leave will not lose their position on the wait list.
5. A fee will be assessed for all transfer requests.
6. If you make any change to lot selections, such as swapping or additions, your request date will be adjusted to reflect the current date.

1. Disabilities. Customers with disabled placards/license plates or who have been cleared through the Disability Resources Center (students) or University Health Services (faculty/staff) will not be placed on the wait list and will be accommodated (if space is available).
2. Residents. As established by the Residency Program, residents will acquire/renew their parking assignments during the Resident Orientation Period.  If new residents miss the orientation or if no space is available in the resident allotment, they will be assigned parking in any available parking facility.
3. Nurses. As established by past practice and union rules, nurses will be assigned parking closest to the Hospital and Clinics. If no space is available, they will be assigned parking in any available parking facility. Priority will be given for transfers.
4. Directives. Other exceptions may be made by Parking Administration or by University requirements.
