New parking system

As of July 1, we migrated our parking payment and permitting services from HonkMobile to ParkEngage. All HONK permits expired on June 30 and you must get a new permit. Get the details.

Our parking system uses license plate recognition (LPR) technology to identify your vehicle, so it’s important to understand how and where to park before arriving.

Please select the icon that best describes you to learn about specific parking rates and rules, how to purchase a parking permit, and where to park on each campus.
