Visitor Parking & Directions

Parking lots are designated by letter and are reserved for vehicles correctly displaying the appropriate lot decal. Students, faculty, and staff are responsible for obtaining a visitor parking pass for the vehicles of their guests. Tickets written on visitor vehicles may be charged to the student host. Visitor parking passes are not permitted for student-used vehicles.

Visitor permits are issued for 24, 48, or 72 hours maximum. Visitor permits are free. To complete the registration for a visitor’s vehicle, the student host must be present at the time of request, provide Campus Security with the name of student, visitor’s name, description and license plate information of the visitor’s vehicle, and student host cell phone number.

Other temporary parking permits are dated and are ordinarily for D Lot only.
