Where do I park?
Depending on your designation (as a student, faculty or staff), you are assigned a lot. Typically spaces are available in your designated lot. Understandably there is a high demand for parking during the first few weeks of campus and/or during major events. View and print parking designations maps.
Please make sure you are in the appropriate lot based on your permit sticker or guest status to avoid receiving a ticket.
I have a handicap parking permit. Where can I park?
If you have a handicap parking permit, you can park in a handicap space no matter the lot designation. Please make sure the handicap permit is clearly displayed on your vehicle.
Why do I have to park in my designated lot?
Parking designations are assigned to keep you close to the buildings you frequent most and to align with traffic flow and safety of our students, faculty, staff, and visitors. The assignments align with traffic, parking and safety recommended by industry experts as well as the work of the University’s parking working group.
