A: Yes - annual permits are only good for the academic year in which they are purchased. If you bought an annual permit during the 2021-2022 academic year, then it expired on July 31, 2022. The expiration date of the permit was posted on our website and on the email you received when you purchased the permit.

Q: I purchased my permit a couple weeks ago, but I haven't received it yet. What should I do?
A: Permits only began being mailed out on August 15. If you purchased your permit before that, then you should expect it in about two weeks.
