Our recommendation
Our recommendation
Buy a $9 parking permit in advance on the SDSU Parking Portal (this is link to register an account)
Park at Parking Structure 7 (Hardy Ave & 55th St San Diego, CA 92182) in an unmarked spot (unmarked spots are visitor parking)
Walk from Parking Structure 7 to the 2nd Floor of the Extended Studies Building (5701 Hardy Ave, San Diego, CA 92115)
Of course, many people have different needs and preferences, so please use the page to explore the best options for you!
As you drive down Hardy Avenue (a one way street), the Extended Studies Center is on your left. Do not park in Parking Structure 6. This is for faculty/staff parking only, and it is likely you’ll be ticketed. Instead, proceed to the end of Hardy Avenue, cross 55th Street, and park in Parking Structure 7.
