Living On-Campus

On-campus students are eligible to receive parking permits for C or R lots. Students that renew their housing contract with the Department of Residence may be eligible for a C Preferred parking permit. This permit allows the student to park in C Preferred parking areas.  Additionally, residents of the R.O.T.H. Complex are eligible for a B permit.

Living Off-Campus

Off-campus students are eligible for a B parking permit. This permit must be obtained if you plan to use the B lots between 7:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday.

Off-Campus students that attend a class after 4:00 pm are eligible to receive an R parking permit.

Graduate Assistants

Graduate Assistants may purchase the A or B parking permits in accordance with all applicable motor vehicle parking regulations.

Faculty & Staff

Any staff member has the option to purchase either the G, A, B, or R permit. Applications for permits can be made at the Department of Public Safety, 30 Gilchrist Hall.

A and B parking lots are oversold. Purchasing an A or B permit does not guarantee the purchaser a parking space.

G Parking Permits

A lottery will be held annually to determine the holders of G permits and to determine the positions of persons on the waiting list for gated (G) parking facilities.

Staff members with the G permit are issued a lot entry card and may park in the designated G lot.
