Visitor Parking Information

Visitor Parking Information

We look forward to welcoming you to campus for your visit!

Parking Permit

In the tabs below, you will find driving directions and parking instructions for your visit. You will receive a confirmation email after you schedule your visit. Please print the email and place it on the dashboard of your vehicle to serve as your parking permit for the day of your visit. A permit can also be obtained at the Parking Office located on the second floor of the Parking Pavilion. Please note that your parking permit may only be used in non-reserved and non-faculty parking spaces in the Parking Pavilion and University lots. Your parking permit is not valid for on-street, metered parking spaces.

On the weekends, you are permitted to park in legal spaces in University lots without obtaining permits between the hours of 5 p.m. Friday and midnight Sunday, except as posted. 

On-Street Parking

Please note that on-street, metered parking is also available on and around campus. Parking meter hours are 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and can be paid using quarters, credit cards, or the Pango app. Again, your parking permit is not valid for on-street, metered parking spaces. If you are parking at a metered spot Monday through Friday, you will need to feed the meter. Metered parking spaces are free on Saturdays and Sundays.
