Eligibility
A retired University of Virginia faculty member who has received the rank of emeritus as conveyed by the Board of Visitors, and who is no longer routinely studying, researching, or working at UVA, may obtain a GOLD parking permit at no charge. Gold parking permits are issued to the original recipient and are not transferrable to surviving family members.
Please bring the Board of Visitors confirmation letter to the Parking and Transportation Office during regular business hours to obtain your GOLD permit. After the initial issue of the permit, GOLD permits will be renewed annually through the mail.
