Visitor - Long Term Permits

Eligibility
Visitors who will be using the campus frequently are eligible to purchase long term permits. These permits provide a substantial discount over the daily rates.

Parking Areas
Restrictions regarding visitor parking vary by lot. Certain lots allow visitor parking at all times, while other lots only allow visitor parking after 5:00PM and on weekends. There are a small number of lots on campus that are reserved for specific permit holders at all times, and no visitor parking is allowed. Please refer to the lot entrance sign to find the appropriate lot for your permit type. Please note that there may be specific spaces or areas within these lots that are marked with other restrictions.

Visitor permits are also valid in time zones for the time designated, and in loading zones for 20 minutes. Please note these permits are not valid in restricted areas, restricted spaces, reserved spaces, metered spaces, or lots/spaces marked for vendors. These permits are not valid for parking at the off campus housing complexes.

Applying
Long term visitor permits can be purchased at our Parking Services Office.

Renewal
A new permit will need to be purchased from Parking Services when the existing permit expires.

Payment Options
There are a number of different permits and payment types that can be used. Permits available for visitors are as follows:

$432 for a yearly permit (July through June)
$324 for the academic school year (Fall, Winter and Spring quarters)
$113 for the summer (July through September)
$56 for a monthly permit  (30-day)
$12 for a monthly Night & Weekend permit

Permits may be purchased with cash, credit card, check or electronic check. A permit purchased during the school year is prorated and the appropriate fee charged for the remainder of the year. Permits no longer being used may be turned in for a refund. Please click here for more information about our permit return policy.
