UNI - Public Safety | Parking Division

"Where can I park?" is one of the first questions asked by those who arrive at University of Northern Iowa. To find the answer, visit the Parking Division located in 106 Towers Center. Parking personnel can answer your question and provide you with directions, maps, and appropriate permits.

Unfortunately not everyone who wants to park on campus can be accommodated. There are only 8,300 parking stalls on campus, and more than 16,000 students, faculty, staff, and visitors on campus daily. The allocation of these resources is one of the many responsibilities of the Parking Division staff.

Parking employees enforce the rules and regulations published in the Parking Manual. Copies of the manual are available for review at the Public Safety Office and online.

Basic Rules for Parking on Campus

All vehicles operating on the UNI campus are to be registered with the Parking Division Office. Parking staff will determine which type of permit is available to meet your needs.

Park only in areas valid for your permit or park in a non-visitor metered area.

Most lots have restricted usage from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Read the signs posted at the entrance of each lot to see what restrictions apply.

Avoid parking in stalls designated for persons with disabilities unless you have the appropriate permit.

Visitors to campus can park in any metered areas.

Park-and Ride Service (8/19/08)

UNI Parking Operations and MET Transit will provide a Park and Ride Transit Service starting Aug. 25. The service will run from the West Dome lot to the Commons area from 7:30 to 10 a.m. and 3 to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, starting Aug. 25.

The service is for people displaced from the Commons lot while the new parking facility is under construction. The bus is handicap accessible. Students, faculty and staff may ride free of charge with a valid UNI ID.

The Park-and-Ride schedule and route map is available at http://www.uni.edu/infosys/parkandride. For more information, contact UNI Public Safety's Parking Operations at 273-2710.

Park-and-Ride service will not be available during holidays and when classes are not in session. The service is scheduled to end May 8, 2009.

Parking Lot Changes and Announcement (1/9/08)

The Bartlett “A” lot has been reopened and partially re-configured. Several stalls have been eliminated on the north and south ends to allow for large vehicle access to service the loading dock at Begeman Hall (the Physics Building) and the ITTC. There are signs identifying the parking and no parking areas on both ends of the lot. Please notice, although there are currently still lines visible, there is no parking beyond the signs.

The Wellness and Recreation parking lot is currently under reconstruction. A portion of the lot is re-opened. The major changes to this lot include a portion of it being designated for Cedar Valley Medical Specialist Clinic patients, physicians and clinic staff. Although there are still meters in the lot, they will be enforced from 6:00 p.m-9:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The designated spaces are reserved for clinic patrons from 7:00 until 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. There will be no parking allowed in the lot from 1:00 a.m.-7:00 a.m., seven days per week.

Reminder:

Guests holding visitor parking permits are not allowed in the meters without paying. The only exception is in the Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts lot.

If you have questions, contact Parking Operations at 273-2710.
