Parking
澳门六合彩论坛 has several parking lots available for student, faculty, and staff use. Please familiarize yourself with our policies and procedures prior to parking on campus.
Visitors and Special Events
All visitors and guests including alumni, parents,听and others in personal vehicles should park in designated visitor parking spots located at Foster & Kedzie Parking Lot, 5141 N. Kedzie.
Lots will be marked as 鈥渆vent parking鈥 when occasions require. Parking for visitors to 澳门六合彩论坛 is free.
Parking Permits
ALL EMPLOYEES AND STUDENTS WHO PARK THEIR VEHICLES IN A NORTH PARK PARKING SPACE ARE REQUIRED TO PURCHASE A PARKING PERMIT
Parking space availability is seriously limited at 澳门六合彩论坛, just as it is at other urban campuses. Accordingly, first-year resident students are not permitted to bring automobiles to campus. Generally, upper-class resident students are discouraged from bringing automobiles because of the lack of available parking space. Most resident students have found that there are adequate transportation options within the city so that an automobile is not necessary.
Purchasing a Parking Permit
Parking permits are available online with a major credit card and can be picked up at Student Services after they are purchased. Permits may not be offered for resale or exchange by anyone.
Please note:听A parking permit does not guarantee the holder a parking space, but only the opportunity to park in specified parking areas on an 鈥渁s available鈥 basis. Also note, that students living on campus are only eligible for Resident Student Permits and the Evening/Weekend Permit is only available to Graduate and Adult Degree Completion students.

General Parking Regulations
1. Hang tag permits must be displayed on the rear-view mirror and may be transferred between family vehicles. They are not transferable between owners. Valid hang tag permits must be hung from the rearview mirror, with the permit number and/or graphics showing through the front windshield and below the tinted portion of the windshield. A parking permit is not considered valid unless it is displayed correctly on the vehicle.
2. Vehicles must be in good driving condition so that it can be safely operated; no junk cars may be left in lots.
3. Vehicles must display proper license plates.
4. Parking in an听unauthorized area can result in ticketing and towing. The observation that parking lots are full is not a legitimate excuse for parking in unauthorized areas.
5. If an employee or student finds it necessary to drive in an emergency and does not have a valid permit, he/she must obtain a temporary permit from Campus Safety. If it is for only one day, simply call Campus Safety and provide them with a description of your vehicle.
Accessible parking spaces are provided in University parking lots in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Vehicles parked in these spaces must display a valid accessible/ADA permit. Accessible permits may be obtained from the Illinois Secretary of State Office. Under Federal law, unauthorized vehicles in these spaces may be ticketed by state, local, and federal law enforcement officials, including campus safety officers.
