Students, staff and faculty can find annual permit and registration information below.
Information for ParkMobile, Daily Permits, Parking Garage, and Metered parking options can be found on the "Visitor Parking" tab.
All annual permits are digital and linked to your license plate. It is imperative that the vehicle's license plate number is entered correctly into your parking account, and that the vehicle's license plate is linked to your permit. Visit the "Vehicle Management" tab for more information on registering your vehicle. If you need to remove a vehicle from your account, please contact our office. The vehicle's license plate must be visible from the drive aisle of the parking lot.
A repositionable windshield credential will be mailed to those who purchase a gated permit. This permit is not a valid parking credential, only a gate activation device. Residential and Greek students will also have the option of purchasing a repositionable windshield credential for access into their zone on home football gamedays, excluding RV parking areas until post-game.

Parking Zone Waitlist
All parkers will have the option to add themselves to the waitlist. If you do not receive the zone of your choice you can add yourself to the waitlist through the parking portal at myparking.msstate.edu.
This can be done by selecting "Add/Edit Waitlist" located at the top of the parking portal page as well as below "Get Permit" at the bottom of the parking portal page. The parker can choose and rank their top five zones to be added to the waitlist. If you are awarded one of your waitlist choices, you will receive an email with the zone you are awarded.
If you are awarded your first choice, you will come off the waitlist for your second, third, fourth, and fifth choice. If you are awarded your second choice, you will come off your third, fourth, and fifth choice and remain on your first choice. If you are awarded your third choice, you will remain on your first and second choice, you will come off your fourth and fifth choice.
