Where do I park?

There is reserved parking for our tour guests available directly in front of the Student and Faculty Support Building, across from the yellow crosswalk in Lot H. You can also park in any parking lot except Staff and Faculty lots and meters.

Traveling by bus, you do not need a parking permit. Buses may park along East Loop Rd (outside of Lots G & H). If East Loop Rd is full, buses may park at the very back of Lots G or H. Click here for a bus parking map.

If driving by car, all drivers please check-in at the Welcome Center to pick up a parking permit.

Will I need to pay for a parking permit?

Prospective Student and Family Tour and Group Tours (if needed) will receive a complimentary parking permit for the visit. Please plan to arrive 10-15 minutes before your tour so you have enough time to check in, get your parking permit, and place it on your dashboard.

Self-guided tour visitors may purchase a daily or hourly permit at a dispenser for $2.00/hour or $10.00/day. All dispensers take credit cards, coins, and bills (exact change only.) The dispensers are located in parking lots A, G, K, N and at the kiosk on the right side at the top of Harder Rd. Daily permits are only valid in General (Student) Lots. After 5:00 PM Mondays-Thursdays, these permits are also valid in Faculty/Staff lots. Click here for a campus map and pay station locations.

Valid parking permits are required on campus: Monday - Thursday from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm Friday from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. A permit is not required after 5:00 PM on Fridays, all day on the weekends, and any holiday the University is closed.
