How can I get an Omaha garage decal and where can I park?

Answer

All garages require the physical decal and the permit holder will have access to their assigned garage on their JayCards. Students whose cards are not working should submit a ticket.

If sharing a vehicle with a sibling, roommate, or friend a ticket can be submitted by the permit holder to request access for the other party. Those that are found to allow other vehicles to improperly use their access will have parking privileges revoked and could face associated fines.

Garage Parking is defined as areas that are secured by a card reader and are covered. If an area does not meet both criteria it is not considered a garage.

24th Street(G36) and 20th Street(G5) Garages:

  • Garage Permits are awarded by randomized lottery. In order to receive the opportunity to purchase a garage permit you must add yourself to a wait list. Students and Employees should only list themselves on their appropriate wait list. Listing on a wait list that you are not qualified for could result in the revoking of a garage permit.
  • Residential Students are given priority.
  • Students living in Deglman, Graves, McGloin, and Swanson will want to waitlist for the 24th Street Garage.
  • Students living in Davis and Opus will want to wait list for the 20th Street Garage.
  • Employees will have an allotted amount of space available.
  • Commuter Students will have the opportunity to waitlist for both 20th and 24th street garages.
  • Once logged in to your Creighton SSO account on JayPark, scroll down to the Add/Edit Waitlists button. You will be prompted to agree to the Rules and Regulations and update vehicle information. You will then select only the wait list you are qualified for based on employment status, student status and residence status. There may be instances in which you are approved for more than one waitlist.  If this is the case be sure to pay attention to which waitlist is your first choice and set it as such. If you receive what you have listed as your first choice you will be removed from all other waitlists. If you receive your 2nd/3rd choice you will remain on your first-choice waitlist even after purchasing the permit.
