Parking Options for University Unit Events and Guests

Parking Operations offers multiple options that campus units can utilize to provide convenient parking for their guests.

  • Unit Purchased PERKS Space(s) - Units may purchase PERKS space(s) to accommodate recurring visitors or VIPs. Units determine who can use their PERKS space(s) and when.
  • Lot Reservations - Units may reserve entire parking lots or select blocks of parking spaces for their events. Lot reservations require a minimum of 4 hours, do not include PERKS spaces, and are based on the number of spaces reserved and not the number of attendees. Contact Parking Operations for rates and reservations.

Unit Purchased PERKS

PERKS space(s) may be purchased by units to provide quick, convenient parking for their guests. The unit will determine who may use the space(s) and when. Parking Operations will still assist with ticketing, signage, and general maintenance.

The current annual rate for a single PERKS space is $390. Please keep in mind that State funds cannot be used to purchase PERKS space(s).

Contact Parking Operations to review available space(s) for your PERKS.
