Daily or Hourly Virtual Permits
Students, employees, contractors/vendors, visitors may park and purchase Virtual Single Day and Hourly permits through ParkMobile App or self-service Permit Paystations. We recommend downloading the ParkMobile app before arriving at SJSU for faster, safer, and more convenient parking payments.
Note: Permit must be purchased as soon as you park.
Daily/Hourly Virtual Permit descriptions, pricing, and sales locations are listed below. Please read the parking general guidelines below.
- Parking General Guidelines
-
- The parking permits sold through the SJSU Parking Online Services, ParkMobile App, or Digital Paystations are virtual permits based on the vehicle license plate. Customers will NOT receive a physical permit.
- Please Note: Entering your vehicle information correctly is vital to the process. If you enter your vehicle information incorrectly (especially your license plate), you may be subject to a ticket. So, please double check your information to make sure it is correct.
- Be aware of the effective and expiration dates of all decal and virtual permits to avoid being cited for parking without a valid permit.
