Parking

Although you don’t necessarily need a car on campus, you are allowed to bring one. If you do opt to keep your ride nearby, be sure to familiarize yourself with the parking and traffic regulations issued by the Parking Services Offices.

You are only allowed to park in designated areas, and unless you park at a meter or in the parking garage, you must register with Parking Services and purchase a parking permit. The permit will be issued for your specific car and will be valid only in a specific location.

There are specific, designated lots for students, as well as special carpool parking and special needs parking.

Motorcycles

There is parking on campus available for motorcycles. If you bring a motorcycle, motor-driven cycle, or motorized pedicycle to campus, you must register with Parking Services and purchase a parking permit that will be valid only in designated areas.
