Registration continues for campus parking
Registration for campus parking permits for the 2019-2020 academic year continues.

Resident students: There is no additional charge for residential parking permits. Resident student parking is restricted to residence hall lots.

Ride with AUM Pride
Students, faculty and staff can ride with AUM pride while supporting student scholarships by purchasing a new Auburn University at Montgomery license plate.
