Permits sell out fast,
parking woes continue
By Erin Schulte
Senior Reporter
Guess what? There are more park
ing problems at UNL.
The university has already sold out
of commuter lot permits for students
who live off-campus, and today is the
first day permits go on sale for those
who didn’t pre-order or renew.
What the university has left to sell
is 1,100 permits for perimeter parking,
formerly known as remote parking.
Tad McDowell, parking services man
ager, explained the change.
“They’re not halfway to Waverly or
anything,” McDowell said. “It’s just a
better connotation to use.”
Students can take the perimeter op
tion, or join 1,200 people on a waiting
list for commuter permits. A phone
in registration system called NUPark,
which is similar to the phone-in regis
tration NRoll, is one of the reasons
permits sold out early this year. More
people renewed by phone rather than
waiting until school started.
“It gave us the opportunity to sell
the permits earlier and beat some of
the rush around returning to school,”
McDowell said. “We run out every
year, we just reached this point earlier
because of NUPark.”
The computerized system took six
months to hook up and cost less than

$10,000, McDowell said. Because of
employee time saved on data entry, the
system should pay for itself in a year
or two, he said.
Students without permits can come
to Kimball Hall starting Thursday to
try to get a permit. They should bring
money in the form of cash, check or
credit card, student identification and
license plate number.
McDowell said students shouldn’t
panic if they don’t have a permit yet.
Those wanting commuter permits are
put on a waiting list, and more spots
usually open up in September.
“It usually works out to where ev
erybody gets something,” McDowell
said.
