Eligibility for Students

All seniors, graduate students, and commuting students living outside of the walking zone are eligible for parking permits.

Persons who are not eligible for permits include:

• All freshman, sophomores and juniors who reside on campus
• All students with non-appealable, unpaid violation assessments
• Students living in non-university housing within the designated walking zone

Any student who maintains a campus address is considered a resident for parking purposes.

Designated Walking Zone

One must reside north of Central Street, west of Ridge Avenue (not on it) from Central Street to Emerson Street, west of the Metra tracks from Emerson Street to Lake Street and south of Lake Street (not on it) to establish eligibility. A map of the walking zone is available here. The Parking Office uses the official address of the building to establish residence.
