Parking Regulations for Summer Student Employees

If you plan on hiring student employees to work during the summer months, please read the following information about summer student parking:

• All parking lot regulations remain in effect and are enforced throughout the summer. This includes the requirement that enrolled JMU students must register for a parking permit and park in student parking lots.

• The only change to student parking regulations is that students who were freshmen or residents during the 2025-2026 academic year, and still have current parking permits, may park in student commuter parking lots.

• Students’ permit eligibility and pricing are based on their enrollment status in summer classes and other factors. Student employees who are on campus in the summer are encouraged to visit the Parking and Transit Services web portal at jmu.aimsparking.com to check their permit status.

• Some students working during the summer months may qualify for an upgrade to faculty/staff parking at no additional charge. Students should contact the Parking and Transit Services office at 540-568-3300 or parkingservices@jmu.edu to ask about eligibility.

• Full-year 2025-2026 student parking permits remain valid in the summer months. Spring 2026 permits expire on May 15. Student summer permits will be available for $40 beginning May 15.

• Students are encouraged to consider alternative transportation methods, such as HDPT buses or biking, during the summer months. Bus service remains free to students in the summer.

Please contact our office at 540-568-3300 or parkingservices@jmu.edu if you have any questions.
