Visitor Parking

Visitor Parking

The campus parking system is a self-supporting enterprise. We receive no state appropriations. State policy prohibits the use of tax dollars to support the system. Therefore, all parking expenses are paid from the fees paid by students and others who park here. Parking fees are established to provide sufficient annual revenue to cover the cost of repairing and operating the lots as well as constructing new spaces. In order to keep those fees as inexpensive and equitable as possible, all users—and that includes those who work here—share the costs.

So, where do I park?
