Long Term Virtual Permits
Virtual Permits Returns
Timeframe for Returns:
ANNUAL PERMITS- can only be returned for a prorated refund if requested during the first term of the academic year (fall term).
SINGLE TERM PERMITS- can only be returned for a refund if requested within the first two weeks of that term.
Payment Refunds:
If you have an outstanding balance for parking citations: you can still request a permit return, however any refund will first be applied towards paying off that balance.
All refunds will be returned via the same payment method in which the permit was originally purchased:
If you purchased your permit with a credit/debit card, any refunds will be applied back onto that card.
If you purchased your permit via tuition charge (available to students only), any refunds will be applied as a credit onto your SOU account.
If you chose the payment option of Payroll Deduction (available to employees only), payroll will cancel the automated $25/month deductions from your paycheck starting on the next pay period.

Short Term Parking for Guest/Visitors
All parking permits on SOU campus are “virtual”, meaning your license plate number is your permit; we no longer have any “physical” permits that need to be displayed on the vehicle. You may park on campus in visitor parking lots and purchase a short-term permit (rates below) with either of the following two options. During business hours, short-term permits are valid to park in any metered lots (parking spaces with white dots). Click here for a map with parking meter lot numbers/locations.
Short Term Parking Permit Rates:
- $1.00 an Hour (Can be purchased in 1-hour increments, up to six hours at a time)
- $10.00 a Day (24 hours)
- $20.00 for Three Days
- $30.00 for One Week (7 Days)
Locations/Times Short Term Permits are Valid to Park:
- During Business Hours (6am-6pm) Monday-Friday: Only valid to park in metered parking lots* (white dot zones).
- After Business Hours (6:00pm – 6:00am) Monday-Friday, and weekends (Saturday & Sunday): Valid to park in metered parking lots (white dot zones), Faculty/Staff (yellow dot zones), and Student Commuter (green dot zones).
*The visitor parking meters are located in lots: 1, 12, 29, 36 (North), 36 (South), 37, and 41
Visitor Option 1: Park and Pay at Parking Meter
The visitor parking meters are located in lots: 1, 12, 29, 36, 37 and 41. These meters all accept coins or credit/debit cards (Visa and MasterCard).
You are responsible for typing in your license plate correctly at the parking meter (make sure to include all letters as well). If you have a temporary license plate, use the number displayed on the temporary license plate as the license plate number. Failure to do so may result in a parking citation. Once you enter you license plate at the meter and pay for the time, our License Plate Recognition System is updated to let us know that your license plate is valid to park in any metered parking lots (spaces with white dots) for the amount of time paid for. Printing out a receipt for your dashboard is optional.
Visitor Option 2: Pay and Park via "pabybyphone" app
SOU works with PayByPhone to let you pay for vehicle parking in seconds. The app is a completely cashless solution, reminds you when your parking session is about to expire and even lets you extend your parking time from anywhere! PayByPhone is convenient, easy and secure.
- Download the PayByPhone app on iOS or Android.
- Enter your location number and select your parking duration.
- Extend your parking session from anywhere!
