Space availability is extremely limited, especially during the academic year, and is not guaranteed. While we highly encourage everyone commuting to campus to choose a sustainable mode of transportation, driving may be the only viable option. During the academic year, UCLA Transportation offers students a quarterly Parking Application for permit requests.

During the Summer Session period, space is less impacted and we do not have a Parking Application. Permits are limited and sold to both commuter and dorm students on a first-come, first-serve basis. Students may visit the Bruin ePermit Portal to purchase a Summer Session permit directly.

Note: Weyburn residents will need to contact the Weyburn Administration Office for parking access at (310) 983-1300.

Note: All dates listed below for Fee and Refund Schedules, Dorm Students and Parking Exemptions, Permit Rates and Dates, and Summer Quarter Parking (All Students) are strictly enforced. If you do not apply on time or pay during the Payment Period listed in the Permit Rates and Dates, you will forfeit your opportunity to purchase a permit. We encourage all students to stay up to date and check this page regularly.

• How to Submit a Clean Fuel Permit

• Only Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV’s) are eligible for a UCLA Clean Fuel Permit. Cars that meet these requirements are 100% battery-electric or hydrogen fuel cell electric. To determine if your vehicle is a Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV), visit the California Air Resources Board website and check that your vehicle's “Exhaust Standard” is listed as “ZEV”.

  When requesting a Clean Fuel permit through the Bruin ePermit System, you will need to submit a copy of your current vehicle registration. If you are not the registered owner, you must also provide proof of insurance. The insurance card must have the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and permit holder's name on it.

  A clean fuel permit allows for the mobility of a blue permit for the price of a yellow permit. Students requesting a clean fuel permit must submit a Parking Application and Special Permit Request by the application deadline. Registered student commuters* who qualify for a clean fuel permit during the application period are given priority. Students should wait to purchase a quarterly permit until they receive the result of their special permit request. A new special permit request (clean fuel) and parking application must be submitted for each quarter within the posted application period (with the exception of Summer Session).

  *Dorm students are not eligible for a clean fuel permit.

  Professional School Students: Students must submit a “Special Permit Request” through the Bruin ePermit Portal before purchasing their permit. A new clean fuel request and parking application must be submitted for each parking period with the exception of Summer Session.

• Students Experiencing a Financial Crisis

• Financial aid budgets and awards available to our student population include transportation/commuting costs and fees. The UC Office of the President administers a Cost of Attendance Survey (COAS) every three years to a sample of the UC undergraduate population including UCLA students. The information collected from the COAS is used to estimate the total cost of attendance at UC campuses for students, including day-to-day expenses such as commuting fees. The results of the survey are used to directly influence the financial aid policies and programs for the student population.

  The Economic Crisis Response Team (ECR TEAM) provides support and guidance to students who have self-identified, or are identified by UCLA faculty or staff, as experiencing a financial crisis that impacts their academic success at UCLA. They aim to efficiently, compassionately and discreetly:

    1. Provide a seamless and individualized response to UCLA students in extraordinary financial crisis.

    2. Develop proposals for actions to examine (and revise, when appropriate) university policies and office protocols in order to improve students' ability to manage their financial situations and avoid economic crisis.
