UIS employees that purchase their parking hang tag through payroll deduction were sent an email reminder in July that payroll deduction for their parking hang tag would automatically renew and that a new parking hang tag would be delivered to their campus address.

Please be aware that those parking tags were distributed last week and remember to look for your new parking hang tag!
