On the AMP website or app, select Allow when it asks you to share your location. Alternativly, you can search for Northern Illinois University. Use the map to find a designated AMP parking area. AMP parking is divided into different zones. You can see your zone on the map and on the AMP sign in the parking area.

You can view your parking history on the AMP website or app. Select the menu tab (the three lines on the top left) on the main screen. Select Purchase History, then Details.
