 St. Ambrose Parking
Permits: Online Ordering
St. Ambrose students, faculty and staff
can obtain their parking permits online at www.thepermitstore.com.
The entire online process is simple, with screen prompts to
help along the way, and it take about five minutes or less
to complete, says Robert Christopher, director of security.
Before logging on, it helps to know or
obtain the following information:
- Your email address
- SAU student ID number or SAU employee
number
- License plate information (e.g., Iowa
123 ABC)
- Make, model, style (e.g. Honda, Civic,
4-door), color and year of vehicle
- A password of your choosing (at least
six characters long)
The price for the student permit is $45
per year, and students can pay be check, VISA/MasterCard or
have it charged to their student account.
Those registering their vehicle for a permit will get
screen prompts along the way that will help take them
step-by-step through parking registration. It may also be
helpful to first read through the steps listed below, and
then keep this webpage on hand as you go through the
process.
- Open your web browser and go to the
following address: www.thepermitstore.com.
- Select “OK” in the dialog box alerting you to the
fact you are about to enter a secure site.
- At the “Enter your parking destination” screen,
type in SAU and select the “Submit” button.
- At the “Search Results” screen double click on St.
Ambrose University.
- At the “Home Option” screen select the “Apply”
button.
- Read the parking agreement and click in the “I
agree” box.
- Move to the bottom of this screen and enter your email
address. You will need to enter it a second time to
verify it. Now you can enter the password you made up
earlier. You will also have to re-enter this to verify
it.
- Once you have finished select the “Continue”
button.
- At the “Personal Information” screen please enter
all the requested information. NOTE: If you are
living on-campus it is highly recommended that you use
your St. Ambrose address for your mailing address.
At the bottom of this page you will be asked to enter
some information to help verify who you are in the event
that you forget your password. One of the security
screens will ask for your birth date, but please
understand that this is optional information only used
to help verify your identity over the phone. Once you
have completed this section select the “Continue”
button.
- At the “Select Permit” screen choose the oval
“Buy” button.
- You will now be taken to a screen where you can enter
your vehicle information.
- Once you have completed this, select the “Add this
vehicle” button. This may take a few moments to
complete so please do not select anything during this
time.
- After you have finished this step, follow the
on-screen instructions to select a payment type. NOTE:
If you are a Graduate Assistant whose parking is
included in your contract, you must charge your permit
to your student account, and then follow up by asking
your advisor to send an email to the Director of
Security verifying your assistantship.
- After this process is complete, a page will load
displaying a receipt. Print out this receipt and select
the oval button labeled “Temporary Permit.” Print
the temporary permit.
- Select the finish button and you should receive an
email explaining how to activate your permit once it
arrives and how to add additional vehicles to your
permit.
Place the temporary permit on your front dash where it
can be seen.
Once your actual permit arrives in the mail you will
need to log back onto the permit store website to activate
your permit. This is a security measure to ensure your
permit arrived safely. The permit is made of a static-cling
material that will adhere to your windshield. Place it on
the inside of your windshield on the passenger side.
For more information, contact Robert
Christopher, director of security, at ChristopherRobert@sau.edu
