Student Parking

On-Campus Resident Students

Students living on-campus may purchase a parking permit based on their residence area for one semester at a time or the full academic year.

Permit options and details are outlined below for students to explore.

Off-Campus Students

Students living off-campus can purchase a permit based on their need for overnight parking storage for one semester at a time or the full academic year. Permit options are listed below for students to explore.

Transportation Services also offers a reduced-cost daily parking program at several convenient locations throughout campus. With the on-campus parking decks often reaching visitor parking capacity, this program offers guaranteed parking access around campus for a lower price than the daily rate offered at the decks.

You can select where you live to find a permit that fits your needs. When you log in to the parking portal to purchase a permit, your options will display based on availability. Permits are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Rates are prorated every Sunday and display at checkout. 

Students with weekly parking needs must purchase a permit in person at the Transportation Services Office.
