Attention Shepton Student Drivers!

If you plan to park in the Shepton student parking lot during the day, make sure that you have a 25-26 student parking permit visible in your front windshield. 

Having a parking permit keeps your car safe from being towed at Shepton, Jasper, and Plano West during athletic periods or zero hour classes.

All current student drivers must have a valid 2025–2026 parking permit attached to their front windshield. Permits are sold through Rycor for $25 each. 

Click here to access Rycor and complete the permit application process.

‼️ After applying for your student parking permit, make sure to bring a hard copy of your Rycor payment receipt to the Student Center to pick up your permit.

Keep your car from getting towed--purchase your student parking permit today!
