Parking Permits

All faculty, staff, and students with a vehicle on campus between the hours of 6am-4pm Monday through Friday during the traditional undergraduate academic sessions must have a parking permit. Permits are renewed annually. There are three types of parking permits:

  • Commuter: For students who do not live on campus. Students in the College of Professional Studies should order a permit if they are going to be on campus during the hours of enforcement. Cost is $60.
  • Residential: For students who live on campus. The premium permits have been discontinued. Cost is $120.
  • Staff/Faculty: For employees of the university including graduate assistants.

*Visitors must obtain a temporary permit in advance or from the front desk of the building they are visiting and then place the permit in the designated location after which you may park in any C designated lots. More information is listed below.

There is a $5.95 fulfillment fee for all student permits and any additional permits for employees after their first one.

Request a Permit

Parking permit applications are approved by the Student Services department and issued by The Permit Store. Temporary permits are issued as needed by the main desk in each building for visitors. A new parking permit is required for all faculty, staff, students, and contract employees at the Fort Wayne campus each academic year. Permits may be purchased beginning July 1 each year. If you have a valid permit but are driving a rental vehicle, you will need a temporary permit from the office of student affairs.

If a permit is lost or stolen you are required to report the loss and apply for a replacement online. Any cost for the replacement permit will be explained at the time of application.

All parking permits will be distributed to the address you indicate at the time of applying. Be sure to take into consideration whether to have your permit sent to your summer home address or your university address. Temporary permits (valid for 30 days from approval date) may be printed once your application is approved if needed and then displayed in your windshield until your permanent permit arrives. If driving a car temporarily due to rental, loan, or repairs, you are required to obtain a short term permit from the student affairs office which will be issued at no charge upon verification of a valid current permit.

At no time should students or employees park in any reserved space.

Visitors

Beginning the fall 2017 semester, all visitors on campus during the designated hours of enforcement mentioned above will need to obtain a temporary permit. Temporary permits may be emailed to you in advance or obtained from the main desk of the building you are visiting when you arrive. Visitors to residence hall buildings during those times may obtain a permit from the office of student affairs in the Andorfer Commons. Visitor permits allow for parking in any C designated parking lots as shown on the Campus Map.
