Welcome to the Department of Transportation Services’ Online Waitlist Management web portal.
From this page you can learn about what a waitlist is, how DOTS manages those waitlists, and make your own waitlist requests for parking assignments on campus at the University of Maryland. Waitlists are open for any student, whether they are currently registered for campus parking privileges or not.
On this page you can make your eligible and ineligible lot requests, and also see what requests you are currently signed up for. You can always login again and add additional requests to your account, but you can only remove your requests by contacting DOTS at 301-314-DOTS.
To sign up for the waitlist, students must log into their parking account and follow the link where it says “Manage your waitlist position”.

WAITLIST INFO
What is a waitlist?
A waitlist allows you to sign up for a parking registration that you either are unable to sign up for because of your class standing or residence or because the lot has been closed for registration because it is at capacity. Waitlists are either an eligible waitlist or an ineligible waitlist, contingent on what lot you are attempting to sign up for and your class standing and residency information. Lot eligibility for the different classes and resident communities can be found in the DOTS
regulations.
What’s an “Eligible Lot Waitlist”?
An Eligible Waitlist is a waitlist for a parking assignment that you would be able to purchase if the lot were available for sale.

What’s an “Ineligible Lot Waitlist”?
An Ineligible Waitlist is a waitlist for a lot that you normally cannot purchase a campus license plate registration for. For example, a student with sophomore status living in Commons would not be eligible for Lot 19; however, they can make an Ineligible Waitlist request.

How are waitlist requests honored and fulfilled?
Throughout the year, the DOTS surveys the parking lots and checks for availability and use. When spaces in particular lots become available, DOTS will contact the eligible waitlist requests first, and then the ineligible waitlist requests if spots are still available. Students will be contacted via the email that they provided for online waitlist and will be given at least 1 week to come into the DOTS office and purchase their new registration.

How much does it cost for a waitlist request?
Making a request for a waitlist does not cost anything! However, there is a $5.00 fee to change your lot assignment. If you do not have a current parking registration, you will be charged the prevailing rate for your classification of either resident or commuter.

Do waitlist requests expire?
Yes. Depending on what semester you sign up for the waitlist, your waitlist request will expire at the end of that semester. For example, if you sign up for the waitlist during the Fall semester, your waitlist request will expire on the last day of the Fall semester.
