Student Parking
NEW for Fall 2024!
You asked and we listened! No more waiting in line at the attendant's booth to validate your parking to exit the garage! No more lost parks at the end of the semester!
Based on student feedback, the semester plans have been replaced with a flexible payment plan automatically set at the campus rate so you can tap your card at the gate to enter and exit the garage-- and automatically pay the student rate. Rather than a fixed package which often resulted in the loss of unsused parking at the end of the semester, this account will never expire. Also, you can add funds in any amount, at intervals convenient to you. Account balances will be emailed to you regularly.
**The parking attendant will no longer validate parking or take payments of any kind.
How to pay the campus rate of $5 per park with a declinging balance account:
- Get your Bee Card, which is needed to enroll in student parking.
- Visit the student link, and create an account.
- Load funds in any amount, and allow 24 hours for funds to become active.
- Access the Fitzgerald Garage using your Bee Card, from which the $5 campus parking rate will automatically be deducted for your parking visit, up to a 24 hour period midnight to midnight (an additional $5 per day will be charged past midnight). Weekends are free.
- If you have questions about the account or its use, you may contact ub@propark.com.
Additional tips:
- Consider looking at the calendar to plan how many parking visits you expect to have, and remember that you can add additonal funds at any time. For example, if you come to campus once per week, consider adding $80 ($5 x 16 visits to campus). Alternately, add about $20 per month during the semester.
- A $5 "park" is defined as the period of time parked for "one in and one out", up to 24 hours midnight to midnight. For example, if you enter the Fitzgerald Garage at 4:15pm, and exit at 10:00pm, that is considered one park; if the car remains parked until 12:01am that is counted as 2 parks, with a charge of $10.
- The funds will not expire, and will automatically roll over at the end of the semester.
- Fund balances will appear on the screen at the parking gate, and will be emailed weekly for your convenience.
- If you decide not to load funds into an account, you may pull a ticket at entry, and pay the market rate from your car with credit or debit at the exit gate. The cashier will no longer take payments of any kind.
- If your Bee Card is replaced, contact ub@propark.com to update your Bee Card number in the system.
- The account will be held by a third party garage operator, There are no refunds. If you have questions, contact ub@propark.com.

Parking for Faculty & Staff
In addition to the declining balance account described above in the student section, Pre-tax parking is an option for regular faculty and employees. With Pre-tax parking, regular faculty and staff pay for unlimited parking on a pre-tax basis through payroll deductions. (The State only offers this benefit to regular employees.) Under this option, the amount of the annual parking rate will be deducted in installments on a pre-tax basis from your bi-weekly pay throughout the year from late August through May, instead of paying for the permit in full at the time of purchase.
Regular employees may request pre-tax parking, then complete the secure form to enroll or re-enroll in pre-tax parking at this link at this link. Contact us if you have pre-tax parking questions. Additional details about pre-tax parking are below.
For contractual employees who are not eligible for the pre-tax parking option, and infrequent parkers for whom it does not make sense to purchase pre-tax parking, the same account explained for students above, will allow you to create an acocunt in advance and tap and go in and out at the gate 24/7 with your Bee Card. You may also pay the garage market rate in lane with credit or debit; the rates are posted in the garage.
More details about pre-tax parking: Pre-tax payroll deductions are a payment method for regular employees who need access to park in the Fitzgerald Garage. Pre-tax parkers have access to the Fitzgerald Garage 24/7 by scanning their Bee Card to enter and exit.
Payroll deductions begin in late August and stop in late May; the deductions are not “pay as you go”. The deduction amount is based on an annual parking rate, which is collected in 20 of 26 pay periods. So if it will benefit you to use pre-tax parking when the semester begins, sign up as of July 1, since the deductions will “catch up” the payments for July and August once they begin at the end of August.

Parking for Adjunct Faculty and Contractual Employees
Pre-tax parking is not an option the State of Maryland provides to adjunct faculty or contractual employees. As explained in the Faculty and Staff section above, the same declining balance account option available to students may be used to pay the $5 rate per park.
