Evening Students
(for parking after 5 p.m. )


Evening students parking between the hours of 5pm and closing should be aware that the visitor parking rate for parking after 5pm is equivalent to a one-period student parking ticket. A permit is not necessary if a student wishes to park after 5pm and pay visitor rates in cash. However, if an evening student will need to use student parking facilities before 5pm or on weekends, it would be advantageous to register for a parking permit. Reminder: Student parking prior to 5pm without a student parking permit will be charged daytime visitor parking rates. As a visitor after 5pm, any entrance to the University Garage may be used as well as the Marvin Center Garage.
