Parking Lots & Guidelines
Faculty/Staff Parking
Certain lots or portions of lots have been set aside for use by faculty and staff only. These are posted, as such, at the entrance to each lot. Only valid faculty/staff permits are approved in these lots and must be properly displayed Monday through Friday, 7 am - 3 pm. In the Diefendorf and Michael Farber Lots, permits are required 7 am – 4 pm.
Faculty/Staff permits are not valid the following student-only lots: Governors E, Stadium, Special Events, Lake LaSalle, and Arena. Faculty/staff permits are valid in shared faculty/staff/student lots. They are not, however, honored in the Fronczak paid lots.
Student Parking
Student Parking is by permit only. Monday through Friday, 7 am - 3 pm Student permits are not valid in Faculty/Staff lots or paid lots.
Paid Parking
Our Fronczak paid parking lot provides a convenient alternative to searching for a parking space for our students and staff. Annual passes/cards may be purchased for $104.76 or semester passes for $70.20. Cards are sold annually in the month of August via our lot attendant. Do not delay, given the close proximity of the lot to the Spine area, spaces go quickly!!
Daily rates of $4.00 or $2.00 after 1 pm are also available for students, staff and visitors.
