COMMUTER PARKING
Parking permits are now digital and are enforced via License Plate Recognition (LPR). This means you will not receive any physical permit, because your license plate is your permit. Therefore, it is the permit holder's responsibility to maintain an accurate vehicle record. If there is any need to change the vehicle associated with a permit, please log into the Parking Portal and make the necessary changes directly under your permit.

Students who do not live in a residence hall on campus and who will be driving to campus for classes can purchase a Commuter parking permit. Commuter permits are only valid in designated commuter parking lots in the academic and athletic areas of campus, and do not allow parking in resident lots. Commuter permits do not cover metered, reserved, service, or any other stalls with signage. If you park in a metered (AMP) stall, you must pay for the time parked by downloading the app. Commuter permits are not authorized for use by individuals living in campus residence halls, and do not allow overnight parking. Violators will be subject to tickets.
Types of Commuter Permits
North
Includes lots 11, 18, 19, 21, and 24.
Cost: $155
South
Includes lots 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 12, 14, Prince Street, and Prairie Street
Cost: $235
Commuter permits are restricted to their designated lots during the day (see parking map), but may utilize any commuter lots after 5PM. For example: students with a North Commuter permit can park in Lot 12 to study at the library, or students with a South Commuter permit can park in Lot 11 next to the Williams Center as long as it is after 5 p.m. Parking in the wrong area before 5 p.m. will result in an Improper Lot citation being issued.
Commuter permits are valid from the time of purchase through the end of August, and have their prices prorated throughout the year. If you leave campus and are no longer considered a student or staff member, your permit will be revoked. Information regarding refunds and prorations.
Commuting students who drive infrequently may use any on-campus pay-by-space stalls by downloading the AIMS Mobile Pay parking app. Please note these are short-term parking spaces with a maximum 2 hour parking limit; you will not be able to extend your session after reaching this limit. Metered stall fees are required at all times except for University recognized holidays and on weekends (starting at 5PM on Friday and extending through 11PM on Sunday).
If you have a motorcycle, moped, or scooter you’d like to bring to campus, check out the Motorcycle Permit page.
