Event Parking Policies
Parking Services may close/block off these lots, spaces, areas, or garages as reserved for those attending a special event. Parking alternatives will be made available for displaced permit holders, based on permit type, and with no additional compensation to the displaced persons. However, if Parking Services determines that an event may cause an unacceptable disruption to campus operations; it may reject an event request.
Any event which impacts parking must be coordinated with Parking Services. Parking arrangements for chartered buses and large vehicles that will impact traffic must also be coordinated with Parking Services and University Police.
Parking Services may take one or more of the following steps to inform permit holders of special event parking policies:
- Information mailed or e-mailed to all permit holders with assigned lots or garages affected by special event parking.
- Informational signs posted at the entrances to lots reserved for athletic and other special events.
