All visitors are required to stop at the Department of Public Safety, University Parkway, to obtain a visitor’s parking permit. There is no charge for visitor permits. Five official visitor parking spaces are located on the north side of Burgin Dossett Hall in Lot 31. If these spaces are occupied, visitors may park in any Faculty/Staff or Student color coded spaces. Visitors are not assessed a fine for violations of the color code parking, but will be held responsible for firelane, disabled space/ramp, or No Parking Zone violations.

Disabled Parking

Designated disabled parking spaces are available near the entrances of most buildings on campus.

Parking for Special Events

Temporary permits are not necessary when attending special events, but visitors must not park in fire lanes, 20-minute zones, service vehicle spaces, or disabled parking areas.

(See Section 5, 5.1, Parking Regulations.)
