On-Campus Parking

There is no free parking on campus during the day, though many lots do not require permits after 4pm. Be aware that CSU parking permits are for specific zones only. For example, students who live in the Residence Halls or the CSU Apartments purchase a different permit than those who live off-campus. Permits are not valid in metered zones where you must always pay at the meter. Upon receipt of your parking permit, you need to immediately place it in the front windshield of your car.

Visit the Parking Services website for more information and to purchase a permit.

Off Campus Parking

Many apartment complexes around town also require a parking permit. Always look for signs as you enter a parking lot or park in a space to see if they require any permit or if the space is open to the public. If you park where you’re not supposed to, your car is at risk of being towed and you could be fined. Make sure that if you have visitors with a car that they understand the parking rules as well – many international students get fines because they were not aware of parking restrictions.

Loading Zones

Loading zones may be used only if you are loading or unloading property or passengers. Loading zones are not considered parking places. If you are using a loading zone, adhere to the time limit on the signage.
