Department Guests

Individuals visiting campus as the guest of a department may be eligible to obtain a coupon code for complimentary parking paid for by the department.  Guests should contact the faculty/staff member arranging their visit to determine if the department will pay their parking fee. 

Departments may request visitor codes by completing a Department Guest - Code Request Form for Visitor Parking.  Codes may be requested throughout the year and are valid for a single use.  Departments will only be billed for codes actually used.  Billing is done in June for all of the prior year.

Planning for Event Parking

Departments and event coordinators must contact Parking & Transportation Services to schedule parking arrangements for all events that require 10 or more parking spaces, regardless of whether there is an associated parking fee or the event is being held during non-peak hours, including weekends.  An event parking request form must be completed and submitted to Parking & Transportation Services prior to scheduling an event date or location. At its discretion Parking & Transportation Services will determine if parking will be available for the event.  If parking is available, the requesting department will be notified with the lot locations and any relevant event information.
