Campus and Area Parking

Student Parking

Students who park their vehicles on college property must register their vehicles with Campus Safety. The student fee per academic year is $200 and must be paid at the time you register at the college. Once you register, you’ll receive a parking pass that will allow you to park in specific lots on campus. You’ll be assigned a lot based in part on your class year and on-campus housing location.

You must acquire a temporary parking pass from Campus Safety in order to park on campus in the visitor spaces.
