Parking Management

Parking Permits are $100.00 for the entire 2023-2024 academic year.

You can purchase parking permits online.

Because of the growth in enrollment, we are aware of the high traffic and usage of parking on campus and we are working to address this need. A parking permit allows you to park on campus but does not guarantee a parking space. We ask that students and employees allot more time to travel and park prior to the start of class or their work day. We also encourage you to consider carpooling or taking public transportation as alternatives.

Students:
