Overnight Parking Permits:

Parking Services understands that not all University business is conducted during normal business hours. To facilitate the parking needs of those university employees whose job requires them to park in commuter lots between 2am and 6am, Parking Services issues overnight parking permits on a case by case basis. 

These permits authorize parking in university lots designated as “No Parking 2am-6am” only for the hours specified on the permit.   This permit is not valid on university or city streets.

During winter months when ice and snow removal is required in the commuter areas we ask that you park in areas previously plowed or park in areas that will not inhibit snow removal or lot maintenance. Citations will be issued if parked vehicles inhibit snow removal equipment.
