The Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD) provides access to parking accommodations for students with disabilities at all UConn campuses. Students should note the following:
- State-issued parking placards alone do not authorize the use of UConn’s permit-parking facilities, including handicapped spots.
- Connecticut Residents may visit the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles website to learn more about the availability and privileges associated with Connecticut’s handicap parking placards.
Handicapped Parking at the Storrs Campus
Storrs students who require a handicapped parking spot and who already possess a State-issued parking placard must register with CSD to request this accommodation. Information regarding the process of requesting accommodations can be found here: Accommodation Requests. If approved for a parking accommodation you will receive additional information on how to purchase a permit.
For more information about handicapped parking at all UConn campuses, please visit this website: Parking Services-Accessible Parking.
Parking Accommodations for Storrs Resident and Commuter Students
Storrs campus students with 54 or more earned academic credits and assigned University housing on the Storrs campus are eligible to purchase a Resident parking permit. Resident permits authorize parking on surface lots posted for that permit type. The parking demand for resident student parking is usually high and the supply of Resident permits is quickly exhausted as they are sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
Resident students who are requesting a parking permit based on a documented disability PRIOR to earning the 54-credit prerequisite as per Parking Services regulations (found here: Parking Services) must register with CSD to request this accommodation. Information regarding the process of requesting accommodations can be found here: Accommodation Requests.
If approved for a parking accommodation, you will receive additional information on how to purchase a permit.
Please Note: Parking Services will issue a permit based on the approved accommodation and current lot availability.
