Prepaid Parking

• A visitor parking pass can be sent to you in US mail if you contact administrative staff associated with your visit well in advance of your visit.
• If you are unable to make your request early enough to have a pass mailed to you, you can request that staff leave a pass for you at either the East Gate or West Gate kiosk. You will need to retrieve it from the kiosk attendant who will direct you to where you should park.
• You can go to the East Gate kiosk, provide the attendant with the destination building/department names and the name of a contact person. The attendant will give you directions for parking and a 20-minute temporary pass to display while you go retrieve a parking pass from your contact person.
  Go to your contact person and obtain a parking pass for the day and replace the temporary pass in your vehicle. Campus parking tickets are expensive. If you do not replace the temporary 20-minute pass with an all-day pass, you will be ticketed.

Self-paid parking

Again, you will need to provide the attendant with destination building/department and the name of a contact person. You will be provided with a guest pass along with a $13 daily ticket the can be bought at the parking machine located at the West Gate Kiosk. Note that the machine does not give change. Both the pass and the daily ticket must be displayed on the dashboard of the vehicle.
