Guest and Event Parking
Guests
If you are an invited guest of the University and parking will be provided to you, please contact the person or department you will be visiting for a permit and parking instructions.
Students who invite family or friends to visit the university or intend to spend the night on campus please visit the Campus Public Safety department for a temporary parking permit.
Displaying a valid parking permit does not guarantee one a place to park. If a parking space is not available in a preferred lot, you must find a valid parking space in another parking lot.
