PARKING

Visitors to the University’s main campus have three parking options. They may park in pay lots, at meters, or purchase a day/temporary pass.

Pay Lots

There are five pay lots. They are located between the University Bookstore and Marriott Library, adjacent to the Student Services Building, across the street from the Olpin Union, west of the medical bookstore, and in the Business Loop east of the Fine Arts Museum. All pay lots open approximately 7 a.m. Monday through Friday, but close at different times. The rate schedule for all lots is $1 per hour with a Maximum charge of $8 per exit. Payment can be made using cash, a personal check, credit card, or by validation.

After Hours Envelopes (AHE) are placed on vehicles, which arrived in the pay lot during operating hours but remained in the lot after it closed. If not paid within 10 calendar days, a $10 parking citation is automatically issued. After-hours fees can be paid by depositing the envelope in the yellow box located near the exit of each lot, by bringing to Commuter Services, or by mailing either via campus mail or the USPS. For accountability purposes, we prohibit our booth attendants from accepting After Hours Envelopes. Customers should deposit or mail the envelopes themselves.

Parking Meters

Located in most lots on campus. They allow parking from 36 minutes to 2 hours, depending on location. The time each meter allows is printed on the meter head just below the time window and immediately above the rate schedule. The LED readout displays the time purchased and will not add time when the limit is reached. Meters can take nickels, dimes, and quarters but will not accept foreign coins.

Day/Temporary Passes

If you’re visiting the university for one, two, or consecutive days, a day or temporary pass may be your best option. It can be purchased on the day you wish to use it or bought in advance. It allows a visitor to park on campus for specified days in specified lots. The cost per day depends on where you wish to park. It is not valid at meters or in pay lots. Passes are available at Commuter Services or at pay lot booths. A day pass must display the date of the day it is being used in order to be valid.
