Parking permits now on sale.

Parking permits for the next academic year (2023-2024) are now available online. Current annual parking permits expire August 15, 2023. Parking permits are virtual, so you will not receive a physical permit. Your license plate will act as your parking permit.

 

Our Customer Parking Portal provides convenient access to your parking account information. You can view your account, purchase a parking permit, make a ticket payment and update vehicle information.

 

A free parking option is also available. Those who take advantage of this option have a virtual green permit which allows for remote parking in Lot K on the west side of campus, just off Lincoln Highway.

 

For those only needing temporary parking, there are short-term parking options available. Short-term permits can be purchased online, and options include daily, weekly and monthly permits. Short-term parking is also available at pay stations and via the AMP Park mobile app.

You can visit our website for additional information. If you have any questions, please contact Parking Services at 815-753-1045 or parking@niu.edu.

 

Parking lot changes for 2023-2024

Parking Services is making parking lot designation changes this summer after assessing utilization surveys from this past academic year. Since parking demand has changed due to remote working patterns and hybrid/online courses, these lot designation changes are anticipated to improve utilization and convenience for all parking patrons. Visit our website to view these changes.
