What You'll Learn
Registering your vehicle
Rutgers University has implemented a new process that requires all guests to register their vehicles if they wish to park in Rutgers-operated parking facilities. Parking remains free, but registration is mandatory. You can register your vehicle by viewing the registration requirements. You can find a permit for residents, commuters, family housing, and daily/hourly parking.
Students with valid parking permits can change from one zone to another, pending space availability. To change your parking zone, you must first find a new permit for your desired zone. You can do this by visiting the Rutgers website and selecting the appropriate permit type for your needs.
Once you have found the correct permit, you will need to purchase it. Permits can be purchased at rudots.rutgers.edu, and multiple cars can be registered to your permit. After purchasing your new permit, your parking zone will be updated, and you will be able to park in the corresponding lots.
It is important to note that you must only park in your assigned lot. If you park in a lot that is not assigned to your permit, you may receive a ticket. Additionally, be sure to keep your parking permit valid and up-to-date to avoid any issues.
