The Parking Perimeter (campus parking map) is defined as an imaginary line running clock-wise bounded by the following streets: Beginning at Ray Street & North College, North to White Clay Drive, East on White Clay Drive, then Southeast to the intersection of Cleveland & North Chapel, South on Chapel to East Delaware Avenue, East along East Delaware Avenue to Library Avenue, South on Library Avenue to the Amtrak right-of-way, West along the tracks to South College, North on South College to Ritter, West on Ritter to Apple, North on Apple to Hillside, then an imaginary line to the south end of Old Oak Road, North on Old Oak to West Main, East on West Main to Corbit, Northwest on Corbit & Ray Street to the beginning. Persons who have residences on the portions of these streets included above will be considered as living within the perimeter area.
All undergradaute students living outside of the parking perimeter may register for carpool permits. All graduate commuters may register for a carpool. Student carpool permits are issued for one semester/session at a time and confer gold permit privileges. The permit fee is shared among the members of the carpool.
Commuting students are not permitted to register a car whose owner is a resident student or the parent(s) of a resident student or other relative of a resident student unless approved by the Parking Office.
Commuting students are not permitted to register a car for a Gold permit if the owner of the vehicle resides within the parking perimeter or the owner is a relative of a student who resides within the parking perimeter.
Daily permits are available to all Commuting Students who do not wish to register for a regular parking permit because they do not normally drive to campus but find, on occasion, that the use of a vehicle is a necessity. The permit must be purchased at the Parking Services office prior to parking on campus, and will be valid for the same parking privileges as a regular parking permit for which the person could register. The Daily permit must be properly displayed. Daily parking permits are non-refundable.
Eligibility -
- Commuters living outside the parking perimeter who have completed 110 credit hours may request a gold or red permit. Purchasing your permit for the full year is more cost effective than purchasing for shorter time frames.

- If you are only taking evening classes, red permit holders may park in unrestricted gold lots after 4 p.m. and on weekends.
Winter & Summer Sessions -
- All commuters are eligible for a gold permit during winter and summer sessions. Red permit holders may upgrade to gold during winter and summer sessions for an additional fee.
