To purchase online use the following instructions.
1. Visit the parking services site. 2. Click on TU Parking Account and sign-in using your Temple University username and password to begin. There is a $2.50 convenience fee in addition to the parking cost. Once purchased, you will be able to swipe your Temple I.D. in the parking area, however, if you will not have your Temple I.D. on the first day your parking begins, please make sure to print your online parking receipt or show it on your phone to the guard upon arrival to the parking area. Please remember to visit the parking office in the Carlisle West Garage to pick up your permit before the Fall Semester begins. Sign-up here if you plan on attending the social event at Summit Park. There will be free transportation to and from Summit Park as well as free food and beverage at the event. Remember to bring your Temple ID, driver's license, and bathing suit if you would like to swim.
When you click on the survey or book sign-up, you should be taken to a Temple Gmail homepage where you enter your AccessNet number (ex: tug12345) and password. (See below) If you are not seeing this page and instead are receiving the message that “You Need Permission” (see below), make sure you are logged out of any other gmail/email account. (This is especially important if you are using the Google Chrome browser or any other web browser that keeps you logged into an email account.) After logging out of your other account, log back in using your AccessNet ID (ex: tug12345) and password. If you do not have an AccessNet ID or have forgotten your password, use this website to activate your account or reset your password.
The online parking account to sign up for the garages is tentatively July 28th. If you are signing up for parking, please send us your TU ID photo by tomorrow (July 17th) so that you will be entered into the system and able to sign up as soon as possible. We will post more updates as they become available.
RSVP here for the Philadelphia Phillies Game sponsored by the Alumni Association! The game starts at 7:00 PM on Wednesday August 5th.
On Monday, all incoming students will be allowed to park for free at the Carlisle West Garage - they will have a list of every incoming student's name so that is all you'll need. The entrance for the garage is on 15th Street, between Tioga and West Ontario. As far as getting parking passes for the semester, read the details below. Rates and parking locations can be found at the website linked below. In both instances, be sure to keep a copy of your parking receipt (either virtually or as a physical copy) just in case the system does not update the information by Tuesday morning. Everyone who purchases parking before Tuesday should be able to access the garage simply by swiping your ID card at the gate, but there have been problems in the past and if you have your receipt they will let you in.
If you submitted your picture for your Temple ID card via email you should be able to purchase parking online in the near future. Your ID cards will be printed during the week of July 20th and once this occurs your information will be in the system to allow you to complete the purchase. Signing up for your parking pass can be done at this website. If you did NOT submit your picture for your Temple ID card via email by the July 17th deadline, you will be receiving it on Monday afternoon during the Red Tape Express. Shortly after the card is printed, you will also be able to sign up for parking online at this website or sign-up in the Carlisle West Garage.
