Guest = a person who is invited to visit the campus or take part in a function organized by the campus. This does NOT include faculty/staff who are in paid status or students who are signed up for classes and paying tuition.
Authorization = a virtual parking permit provided by Police & Parking Services that grants permission to park in a specified location at a specific time.
Help make your guest's parking convenient and trouble-free. Provide them with:

Your Guests Need Your Help With...
- First, contact Police & Parking Services to reserve a parking area (please allow a two-day processing time or the request may not be filled).
- Provide each guest with parking instructions before their arrival on campus.
- Helpful information such as parking regulations and authorization requirements.
- Identify parking area(s) assigned by Police & Parking Services.
- Clear directions to parking areas (campus map).
Parking Capacity for Meetings/Conferences
- Guest parking is limited and provided on a first availability basis. Lots do fill up on busy days.
- Parking requests are best made as soon as your final guest count is determined.
- Parking for larger conferences works best on a Friday or during break/summer session.
- Very large conferences may require parking off campus and shuttling to campus.
Parking Areas for Meetings/Conferences
- Meetings/conferences are typically being assigned to Lot 29, south of the Student Center.
- Other parking areas may be available during the summer and school breaks.
- Smaller groups may be accommodated in lots nearer the center of campus.
- When campus lots are full guests may be directed to park at a pay by plate area or on a city street.
