The new figure for the upper-class student “Red” parking permit represents an abrupt change, having jumped nearly $75 from the 2024-25 year’s price tag.

Upper-class student parking permit prices spike, exceeding policy guidelines

By Mason Detrani, Contributing Writer • September 20, 2025
Ithaca College Parking Services has raised the price of the upper-classman student parking permit from $152 to $225 for the 2025-2026 academic year. Students are required to purchase a permit and display it on their vehicle in order to park ticket-free in the “Red” lots — distinct from the faculty-only “Blue” lots — which are monitored by the Office of Public Safety between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. 
The inability to park in certain lots is forcing students to park in unpermitted lots and obtain parking violations. In her petition, senior Khami Auerbach suggests that the college should expand parking by changing some blue lots, which are meant for faculty, into red lot spaces that would accommodate more students.
