A Quick Reference Guide to Parking

The Parking Office is charged with managing the traffic and parking needs of the entire University community. To do this, we need your cooperation. Please take a few minutes to read this web page.

Do I have to have a permit to park on campus?

Yes! All vehicles must have a valid permit and must park in designated lots. Temporary visitor permits are available from The Parking  Office, the Communication Center (located in Bole Hall Annex) or at any Parking Welcome Gate.

Parking Office utilizes a permit, which is registered to your vehicles, and is transferable up to three vehicles owned or controlled by the permit holder. The permit is to be affixed to your vehicle on the driver's rear side window. There is a replacement fee is lost or stolen.  You will need to contact the Parking Office for that fee.

PERMITS ARE VALID FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE FALL SEMESTER THROUGH THE END OF THE SUMMER TERM.

Not all parking spaces can be conveniently located next to your building. The interior lots on the campus do fill to capacity, so plan on using the outer parking lots! (D & C)

SORRY ... Freshmen Students living on campus are not permitted to purchase a permit or have a vehicle on campus, unless they are employed. Necessary documentation must be approved by the Parking Office. Please contact the Parking Office for more details.

Avoid Needless Tickets!
