Parking & Transportation

Visitor Parking

Visitor parking is exclusively reserved for guests and is not available to faculty, staff, or students.  Virtual visitor permits allow guests to park in any visitor space or purple zone on campus.

You can scan the QR code below to obtain a virtual visitor permit. Permits are also available through the Parking Portal or in person at the Parking & Transportation Services office. Be sure to have your license plate number ready to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
