If I am a retired faculty/staff of The University of Alabama, what do I need to know about parking?
Retired faculty and staff are eligible to receive a Retired University parking permit free of charge.

These permits are not valid in any state-designated space, area coordinator spaces, accessible spaces (unless a state-issued plate or placard is displayed on the vehicle), or in parking decks, with the exception of the Capstone Parking Deck. Retired faculty/staff permits are issued as a privilege and should only be used by the retiree. Abuse of this privilege may result in the deactivation of the permit.
