Parking permit sales will begin for all eligible Students, Staff and Faculty on Monday, August 11. Similar to previous years, all eligible users will be able to purchase a surface lot permit starting on Monday, August 11; with the exception of the underground garages.
If you are interested in purchasing an underground parking space, you will need to email parking@augsburg.edu on the following dates depending on your status:
Monday August 11 – Senior Students/Graduates (resident and commuter)
Tuesday August 12 – Junior and Senior Students (resident and commuter)
Wednesday August 13 – Sophomore, Junior and Senior Students (resident and commuter)
Thursday August 14 – First Year commuter students, and all Sophomore, Junior and Senior Students
Friday August 15 – Open to all eligible users (including Staff and Faculty)
Underground garage spaces will be issued on a first come, first serve basis, and **spaces will not be held if you email parking ahead of the scheduled sales date for your group** (example, if a Staff member emails parking@augsburg.edu on August 11 and before about wanting an underground space, that Staff member will be placed on a wait list and will only be considered for a space after all other users who emailed on the correct date are placed).
When purchasing a parking permit, please consider the following to avoid any tickets being issued throughout the semester/year:
Enter all known license plates that may be brought to campus under your 2025/26 parking permit
Double check that each license plate is entered correctly – if you notice a mistake after entering the license plates and are unable to change it yourself, email parking@augsburg.edu as soon as possible to get the correct license plate number entered. It is individual responsibility to make sure vehicle information is inputted correctly.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requesting Letter of Residency, please contact parking@augsburg.edu

This weekend a phishing email targeted Augsburg purporting to contain important payroll and benefits information. The subject is “Augsburg University has issued an important notification regarding your payroll and your newly approved benefits for the month of August.”
This is a phishing email and is fake. The website linked in the email is an attempt to steal your password.
With AI, phishing emails will keep getting better so we must remain skeptical, take a breath, and confirm the source through another channel (like a new direct email to a known email address or calling the office/person).
Some key red flags in the email include
You can always email your LFC or the Tech Desk if you’re unsure about the validity of the email.
