Visitor Parking Permits
VISITOR PERMIT INFORMATION
Single-day and multi-day parking permits may be purchased by anyone who needs to park at the University and are valid for surface lots only. If the visitor chooses to park at a meter or pay facility (i.e. garage), all hourly fees must be paid.

Scratching off one month, one day and one year validates the visitor parking permit. The date exposed for the single-day is the date of the actual visit. The date exposed for the multi-day is the last day of the visit and is valid from the date of purchase through the date exposed. If more than one of each category is exposed, the permit is void and if displayed on a vehicle, the vehicle is subject to fines and/or impoundment.

Visitors will be assigned specific parking designations by Transportation & Parking Services. Designated parking areas will be written on the front of the single-day or multi-day permit in the comment box.
