Staff “B” Permits – Current Employees

Who is eligible

UCSB full-time and part-time career or limited appointment staff are eligible to obtain a staff B permit. Employees requesting “B” permits will have their status verified via the UC Path. Employees not appearing in UC Path, or employees without the proper title code, will need to visit the Parking Services office in Lot 30 to verify eligibility.

Where to park

Staff “B” Permit

A B permit allows you to park in the lots and structures designated for staff.

The permit is valid in student lots, and for parking in time-restricted parking spaces for the time designated.

The permit is NOT valid in spaces marked for faculty only, or where other restrictions apply — for example: "R" Reserved spaces, Restricted spaces, Service spaces, VENDOR spaces, Metered spaces (without paying the meter), or "H23" permit holder spaces. 

The permit is NOT valid in "Coastal Access" spaces nor the "GOLD" on weekdays, Monday–Friday 7:30AM–5:00PM. 

The permit is NOT valid in Lot 2 or in the Residential Community Living parking facilities operated by Housing & Residential Services.

How to apply

Apply for a permit online by clicking Buy your parking permit HERE. You will be asked to select an employment status and provide your employee ID number. Once your application is approved, you will receive an email with instructions for completing the order. Once payment is accepted, you can print a temporary permit for your exclusive use until you receive a long-term permit.

Your long-term permit will be mailed to the address listed on your application.

Visit us at Parking Services if you need assistance placing an order or if you do not receive your long-term permit by the time your temporary permit expires. Vehicles parked on campus displaying expired permits are subject to citation.

When to renew

Multi-year and annual permits expire at the end of the fiscal year on June 30. Quarterly permits expire at the end of an academic quarter. Renew your permit before it expires by logging onto your online account.

Multi-year permit holders are sent an email reminder thirty days before the three-year expiration date, with a link to go online. Click here for step-by-step instructions on renewing your multi-year permit.

  • $56 for a 30-day permit, sold exclusively at the Parking Services Sales Office.
  • $37.50 monthly for a multi-year permit, payable only through Payroll Deduction. The cost per year of a multi-year permit ($450) is equivalent to an annual permit. Click here to learn more about our Payroll Deduction policy.

TPS accepts payment for an annual or quarterly permit by cash, debit/credit card or check, in the full amount. If you pay by payroll deduction, you will have $37.50 deducted from your monthly paycheck until such time as the permit is returned to Parking Services.

An annual or quarterly permit purchased after the start of the permit period is prorated and the appropriate fee charged for the remainder of the period.

Permit returns and refunds

Annual permits that are not being used must be returned to Parking Services to qualify for a refund. See here for more information about our permit return policy.

  • Parking permits are granted for the purpose of transportation to and from campus. Garaging (storing) your vehicle on campus is prohibited unless you are an "H" or "22IVA" permit holder in the assigned parking lot.
     
  • Parking permits are issued solely by Parking Services and are assigned after verification of eligibility. 
     
  • Permits remain the property of UCSB and are assigned to individuals.  They are not transferable between friends or family members.
     
  • Permits are issued when the applicant has paid the required fee, resolved all delinquent parking citations and provided proof of eligibility.
     
  • Failure to provide and maintain accurate information on the parking permit application may result in citation, fine, the loss of parking privileges and referral to the Campus Police or the Dean of Students for disciplinary action.
     
  • Decal type permits must be attached to the lower left hand (driver's) side of the windshield with the adhesive provided on the decal and without the use of tape, plastic sleeve or hang tag (unless originally issued in that format).  Please remove all expired permits from your windshield to avoid citation.
