Get the ParkMobile App

App Store Google Play Microsoft

Note: UC San Diego faculty, staff and students must associate their ParkMobile account with their @ucsd.edu email address to access eligible permits and pricing. Unit level email addresses (e.g., health.ucsd.edu, eng.ucsd.edu, rady.ucsd.edu) and personal email addresses (e.g., outlook.com, gmail.com) will not ensure access to the best available pricing and options.

How to Pay with the App

Park in any campus or medical center parking lot.

Visitors should enter the zone number posted near their V (Visitor) parking space:

  • 4752 UC San Diego campus
  • 4768 La Jolla Medical Center
  • 4791 Hillcrest Medical Center

Affiliates should enter the zone number that corresponds to their permit type listed in the Flexible Parking sections below to get the best available rate.

step-by-step screens

  1. Once registered, enter the zone number posted on signs or choose from nearby zones shown.
  2. Choose your parking duration (varies by location).
  3. Confirm your information, including location, license plate, time and cost. License plates that drivers provide to the university through the ParkMobile and parking pay stations may be joined to DMV vehicle information (e.g., make and model) to complete the required registration to park on campus (PPM 545-2).
  4. A ticker will be displayed counting down your time remaining. You can extend your session remotely.

Flexible Parking for Faculty, Staff and Students

If you’re not commuting daily, flexible parking lets you pay for parking when you need it. Daily A, B, S and D parking is available in the ParkMobile app at the current price. Currently, we're offering faculty and staff the opportunity to pre-purchase flexible parking credits on a pretax basis so you can save even more.

No app? Technical problem? We've got you covered. You can also purchase a daily permit through the UC San Diego parking portal.

Use codes in the categories below to access the parking that best fits your needs. If the app displays a daily parking fee that is greater than $7.35, you are attempting to access a permit that is inconsistent with your permit eligibility.

Note: Daily parking products are not intended for use by campus residents. If you are a resident and need to bring a vehicle to campus temporarily, contact parking@ucsd.edu for options.
