General campus parking is not included in your Family Weekend ticket. We encourage all participants joining us on campus for Saturday and Sunday programs to park in the EAST REMOTE lot (Lot 104) and walk (or take the shuttle) to Quarry Plaza. Parking in this lot on Friday after 5 pm and all weekend is free.

Because campus parking is limited, we strongly encourage all participants to carpool, take public transportation, or use rideshare options when possible.

Additional No-Permit Parking After 5 pm and Weekends

Parking permits are not required in the East (Lot 104) and West (Lot 127) Remote lots after 5:00 pm weekdays or during weekends. In addition, most of the lots near the base of campus don't require permits after 5 pm on weekdays or weekends:

Carriage House (Lot 115)

Campus Facilities (Lot 116)

Granary (Lot 118)

Cardiff House (Lot 151)

Please check the UCSC Parking Map for details, and always double-check the enforcement hours on each parking lot entry sign.
