Special 'O' Endorsements

Special 'O' endorsements are now approved exclusively by the employees' department head.  Departments can request Special 'O' parking privileges for their employees using Special 'O' Parking Request Form

Once approved, an E-code will be provided to the department's head to be issued to the employee.  The employees need to redeem the E-code at the pay station for the Special 'O' parking privileges.

Please note: 

  • Special 'O' E-code redeemed permits are valid in the reserved section, marked Special O, in the South (7th Street) Garage, section 1B.  Employees must have a valid SJSU Employee parking permit in addition to the Special 'O' E-code permits.
  • Vehicles can only park in Special 'O' spaces for 4 hours maximum.  Vehicles should be moved to an Employee or General parking space at the end of the 4 hour time limit.  Vehicles parked in Special 'O' spaces longer than 4 hours will be cited for parking over time limit.
