Parking Fee
Parking on-campus is $5 and is run by Passport Parking. The fee can be paid for via the parking kiosk on campus (the P on the map near the library), through their phone app or website. The parking permit is linked to your car's license plate number. Be aware that this is a digital parking pass. Even though the kiosk will say it will print a ticket, no ticket will be printed.
**Note: Parking was free prior to fall 2023 due to COVID, this new policy will be strictly enforced.
