Resident & Commuter Parking
Parking On Campus
Undergraduate Resident students with 29 credits or less are not eligible for parking permits on campus.
Resident students with 30 credits or more are permitted to park on campus.
Commuter students of any academic level can purchase a permit or use PaybyPhone.
Any student with an extenuating circumstance may request a parking exception to acquire a permit that their status would normally not allow them to obtain.
To request an exception, complete the request form.
Please note that work purposes are not a valid exception request.
All Montclair State University permits are virtual, meaning they are linked to your license plate number (no hang tags or decals). Make sure your vehicle information is accurate.
Your parking permit will be valid on both the Montclair Campus and the Bloomfield Campus.
