Parking

Parking on Campus

Participants who would like to park a car on campus will need to purchase a parking permit. Please park in the Knight Management Center garage. 

To avoid getting a parking citation, you must ensure you have an active parking permit, your vehicle information is correct, and all vehicles are added to your permit (only one vehicle can be parked per day). Having a parking permit does not guarantee parking spaces are available.

There are two different types of commuter permits that provide access to different parking spots around campus.

• A Permit: Valid in ‘A,’ ‘C,’ and shared residential spaces: A commuter ‘A’ permit priced at $150 per month or $21 per day is valid for both ‘A’ and ‘C’ parking spaces that are labeled by signs such as the one displayed below:

• C Permit: Valid in ‘C,’ and shared residential spaces: A commuter ‘’ permit priced at $42 per month or $6.50 per day is valid for all ‘C’ parking spaces that are labeled by signs such as the one displayed below:
