Chicago Parking Announcements

Daily Discounted Parking Program

Starting in 2023, the Daily Discounted Parking Coupon Program has transited to the Daily Debit Recharge Discount Program for most Chicago campus faculty, staff, and students. The Parking Office will no longer provide daily coupons to any faculty, staff, or student who is eligible for the Daily Debit Recharge program. Coupons are still available for temporary, part-time, new, and Evanston-based employees. Please review the information on the Daily Validation page for additional details about the program.

  • Student and contractor permits are available for purchase at the Chicago Parking Services Office.
  • Faculty and staff can purchase annual parking through the online portal.

Monthly Contractor Parking

To renew your monthly contractor parking please go to the Erie Ontario Garage Customer Service Office located on Ontario Street near the first floor vehicle exit, just east of the southeast elevator lobby. Fill out the monthly renewal form at the office and make your payment there. You can renew your parking access Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. In an effort to reduce cash handling, please utilize credit cards or checks for your payments. If you have questions please call us at 312-503-1103 or email us at chicagoparking@northwestern.edu. We are sorry, but at this time we are not able to process new requests for contractor parking.
