Visitor – UCSB Parking Reciprocity
Who is qualified
UCSB offers parking reciprocity to UC faculty and staff who visit the campus on University business. Reciprocity at UCSB is honored for one to five days per fiscal year. Your current parking status, whether faculty or staff, will qualify you for a UCSB permit of equivalent status. (A UCSB “A” permit corresponds to faculty status, while a “B” permit corresponds to staff status.)

You are required to purchase a permit if you, as the employee of another UC campus, park a vehicle at UCSB more than five days per fiscal year.

Where to park
A faculty or staff reciprocity permit is valid in the lots and structures designated for faculty/staff (see Faculty & Staff Parking for locations). Be aware that some spaces within the lots are designated “Faculty Only”.

The permit is valid in student lots (see Visitor & Student Parking for locations), and for parking in time-restricted parking spaces for the time designated.

The permit is not valid where restrictions apply — for example, reserved, metered or Coastal Access spaces, or lots/spaces marked for vendors or “RS” permit holders. The permit is not valid in the off-campus parking facilities operated by Housing & Residential Services.❖

How to apply
Applications for UCSB parking reciprocity are accepted exclusively at the Parking Services office. Upon applying, you will be asked to present an ID and evidence of your current UC parking status.

❖ The University reserves the right to limit the use of parking areas to specific vehicle types as required by facility design or other considerations.

❖ The University may change any parking zone designation.

❖ The University may close, either temporarily or permanently, any parking area. Advance notice of parking area changes or closings is provided whenever practical.
