UC Merced Permit Reciprocity
UC Merced honors all quarterly and annual faculty/staff parking permits from other University of California campuses.
You may park in any of the non-specially marked "general" spaces in any lot. Such permits are not valid for parking in Reserved, Carpool, University Business or disabled parking spaces.
The University of California campuses offer reciprocity to faculty and staff for parking permits because each campus has different parking circumstances, permit holders should contact the campus parking office before arriving.
Exempt Plate Vehicles
University and official local, state or federal government licensed vehicles may park in all non-specially marked parking spaces.
Such vehicles may not park in Reserved spaces, specially marked spaces, or metered spaces. Exempt plate vehicles may park in Service Vehicle spaces when providing needed services.
