Self-serve parking

Several of our most popular parking lots are self-serve, allowing you to skip the gatehouse and pay on the spot. Some have pay machines where you enter your stall or license plate number, while at others you will be prompted to print out a permit and place it on your car. All of these machines take Visa and MasterCard as well as dollar coins or quarters. At the E01 lot, you must pay with a credit card at the gate arm entry.

Follow the directions for the pay machine or gate arm at your lot. If you are required to display a parking permit, please put it on your dashboard and make sure it is visible from outside of the vehicle. Refunds are not available, and you may only park in the designated lot. The self-serve lots and rates listed here do not apply during football games or other large campus events.
