PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

Visitors and Department Guests

Vehicles parked on campus must display a valid permit or be parked at a paid meter from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday.  Permits are not required in most locations from 3 p.m. Friday to 6 a.m. Monday or when the university is officially closed for a holiday or inclement weather.  Reserved spaces and restricted lots are enforced at all times, with restriction information posted at lots and reserved spaces.  The posted information takes priority over printed information and the use of gates.

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 services to schedule parking arrangements for all events that require 10 or more parking spaces, no matter 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 services prior to scheduling an event date or location. At its discretion parking services will determine if parking will be available for the event.  If it is, parking services will determine the lot location and notify the department.
