Parking Services
Welcome to campus! We’re dedicated to improving your parking experience with innovative technology and exceptional customer service, while prioritizing safety and maximizing resources.
When planning to park on campus, we encourage you to arrive early. While there is ample parking, there may not be a spot available close to your destination. Use our campus walking guide to determine how much extra time to give yourself.
Virtual parking permits/passes are required as posted, even during semester and holiday break periods and when classes aren't in session.
