Permit Overview

Timed Parking Options

In addition to purchasing a permit, you can pay for timed parking in designated areas throughout campus through the mobile payment (AMP) option.

Policies

Please read the complete parking rules and regulations and note the following:

• Students and employees may purchase only one permit.
• Permits may not be shared.
• Ordering a virtual permit, the color for which one does not qualify, may result in parking tickets and/or having parking privileges revoked.

Accessibility

Employees and students who have state-issued disability license plates or placards must obtain the appropriate NIU parking permit. They can then park in a regular space within a lot that allows their NIU permit, as well as any space designated for persons with disabilities, as long as their person with disabilities placard or license plate is displayed. They may also be able to receive a reserved parking space for a reduced fee.

Visitors with state-issued persons with disability license plates or placards need to have a visitor permit or utilize other pay parking options. They can then park in regular spaces as well as spots designated for persons with disabilities.
