»Visitor Parking
Regulations:
All parking areas are restricted 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week. You must purchase
a short-term parking permit from a dispenser if you have not received a parking pass
in advance from an on-campus department.
At the parking permit machines, you have the option to Pay-by-License Plate or Pay-and-Display. If paying by license plate, there is no reason to return to your vehicle - the enforcement staff will validate parking privileges by scanning the license plate. If opting for Pay-and-Display, the permit must be displayed on the drivers side dash, in clear view to the enforcement staff. If you received a visitor permit in advance of your visit to the campus, it must be displayed on the dash of the vehicle or the vehicle is subject to citation.
Short-Term Parking Permit Costs:
$2 for 2 hours | $3 for 4 hours | $5 for 12 hours
Event Parking Information:
Complimentary parking is available for all ticketed events on campus, subject to availability. You may register for complimentary parking
by following the parking link on the individual event page. The event-specific parking
validation code can also be found in your confirmation and reminder emails. Your
license plate will be scanned to validate parking privileges; no additional permit
purchase required. Please be sure to only park in areas designated for visitor parking
to avoid being cited.
