March 18, 2003 STUDENT PARKING PERMITS AVAILABLE ONLINE BUY EARLY, ENTER TO WIN FREE PERMITS University of New Mexico students purchasing 2003-04 commuter permits online at www.unm.edu/parking from Monday, March 31, through Sunday, April 6, will be automatically entered to win a refund for their permit. The drawing is April 7. This is the earliest date that UNM commuter permits have been sold. "Students who purchase early will enjoy the best possible permit selection," said Josh Kavanagh, associate director for Parking and Transportation Services. "With the overwhelming interest in online sales, we expect several of the most popular permit types to sell out very quickly, possibly in the first few days of permit sales." Commuter students buying permits online may also pay for their permits by charging to their Bursar's account. For more information, email parktran@unm.edu or call 277-1938. ###
