Campus Center Parking Garage

The Campus Center Parking Garage is Now Gateless!

Our new gateless garage is now offering new ways to pay without the exit delays. Staff is available in the garage to answer any questions that you may have about this new system.

Fee, validation and permit enforcement resumed Monday, August 12, 2024.

We’re Pulling Out The Stops – Literally

All those spots that slow you down - pulling a ticket, making a payment, waiting for the car ahead of you fumbling for their lost ticket…gone! We want to make parking as fast and easy as possible.  No more gates!

How Does It Work?

Cameras outfitted with license plate readers snap a picture of every vehicle’s license plate as it enters and exits the garage. Then the system compares how much time the driver paid for and how long they stayed.  

Here’s how it works:

  1. ENTER. Welcome! Your license plate is recorded upon entry. No gate. No ticket. No need to stop.
  2. PARK. Find a spot and pull right in.
  3. PAY OR VALIDATE. You have options – make your payment via the Parkmobile app or visit one of our paystations, enter your license plate number, and then pay. Payment is required within 20 minutes of entering the garage.*
  4. You’re on your way! Garage visitors can get reminders when your time is about to expire. You can add time if needed.
  5. Ready to Leave? No gate, no further payment. 

Campus Center Garage remains a 24x7x365 paid parking facility.  Those parking without payment, validation or permit are subject to invoice after 20 minutes of entry into the facility. 

Payment must be made maintained for the entire parking session. The invoice may reflect the total of those unpaid sessions. The invoice is for 20$ daily.
