Online Parking System: It works

It's not that we don't want to see you, but you probably have better things to do than stand in a line here at Parking Division (once you find us on the lower level of Trueblood Hall, past the SIU Police, and down the hall).

What do I do?

Click on the Access Your Account link, to set-up and access your parking account.

When do I get my parking sticker?

Parking stickers generally arrive within two weeks of purchase. If it has been that long and your sticker hasn't arrived, keep reading.

What do I do until my sticker arrives?

When you purchase our sticker online you get a temporary pass you can print and put in your vehicle's window.

Where is my parking sticker?

Almost everyone's sticker eventually arrives in the mail, but sometimes stuff happens. Contact our office. We will get you your sticker, and we will issue you a temporary pass until your sticker arrives.

Where do I place my decal?

Decals must be displayed upon and permanently attached to the rear bumper of a vehicle, right side up, and left of the license plate or to the outside, lower left corner of rear back window (excludes all side windows), right side up, so as not to impede vision. On a motorcycle or motorized pedal-cycle, the decal must be on the fender near the license plate. Decals shall not be obscured by the plate or any other equipment of the vehicle. Exceptions must be approved by the Department of Public Safety.

What Decal you can buy depends on where you live.
