Students

Space for Parking on campus is limited. All motorists who wish to park vehicles in campus lots must purchase a permit or pay at a meter or pay station. A permit serves as permission to park and does not guarantee a space. Permits are not valid at meters or pay stations without payment. Student permits are sold on a first-come, first-served basis, until the permit sales maximum is reached.

Student Parking Lots & Meters

Student parking lots are located on the perimeters of campus and may not be as convenient as preferred. The student permit lots are not close to the academic buildings. The largest student lot is located on the East side of campus, while most residence halls are on the West side of campus. 

Students are able to park at meters on campus or on the streets with proper payment.  See meter information under the Visitors tab.

Student lots are also open (free) during Spring Break and the days between Christmas and New Years.

New / Incoming Students – please note

New/Incoming students do need to wait two (2) business days after​​ course enrollment before a Parking Account is established.
