What You'll Need

Before you begin, you'll need:

  • Access to the EMS Web Application using your University login
  • Submit this request at least 72 hours in advance of the activity
  • Please note, EMS Web Application is optimized for use on a desktop or laptop computer

Step 2: Enter the active dates for the parking code

  • Use the "Date" field to select the date for the parking code to be active
  • Enter an estimated "Start Time" and "End Time," this does not need to be exact
  • For recurring dates, click the "Recurrence" button, enter in the date pattern of the occurrence, and click "Apply Recurrence"
  • Tip: If the code needs to be active for use every day over the course of the year, use the "Recurrence" button to schedule the request for the 31st of every one month. This will ensure the reservation falls on the last day of the month for billing. Do not add the code to every day of the year, or it will need to be resubmitted. Annual codes are billed monthly in arrears.
