What is the Student Park card?
The Parking Services Division created the Student Park card for students who are attending classes in the downtown area. It provides a 35% discount and eliminates the need for cash and check payments. To acquire a Student Park card, you must show a current Student ID and class schedule with your name.
How does it work?
Eligible participants are issued a card, which is swiped at the entrances and exits of the facilities. Each time the card is used to exit the facility, a monetary amount is deducted from the card in accordance with the amount of time spent in the facility.
How much does Student Park cost?
Student Park participants receive a discount on parking at the following rates:
| Student Cost | Parking Value |
|---|---|
| $13 | $20 |
| $26 | $40 |
| $39 | $60 |
| $52 | $80 |
| $65 | $100 |
Where do I purchase a Student Park card?
Cards can be purchased in the main parking office at 850 “Q” Street in Lincoln, NE 68508. The office is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday-Friday, excluding holidays.
To be eligible for the discount, you must show a student I.D. and class schedule with your name on it.

What do I do when my card balance is lower than $10?
If your balance is below $10, you will need to take a ticket and talk to the attendant when you leave. The amount will be manually deducted from your card. This serves as a reminder that you will need to reload your card at the main Parking Office.
Why does my Student Parking Card say “unreadable” when I try to use it?
The magnetic strip on your card is very sensitive and should be kept away from magnets or magnetic surfaces such as credit cards or cell phones. When you swipe the card and the message you get is “unreadable,” your card has been de-magnetized. Stop by the main Parking Office to replace your card.
No refunds on lost or stolen cards.
If your card is lost or stolen, a new one can be issued at the main Parking Office. A student I.D. and class schedule with your name must be shown in order to receive a new card.
Can I be refunded for parking I do not use?
No refunds will be issued for any unused value on your Student Park card. The value of the card is not transferable to any other cards or accounts. Your card won’t expire, but it may be deactivated if it hasn’t been used for six months. To reactivate it, stop by the Parking Office and present your current student ID and class schedule with your name on it.
