Section 5
of the Parking Guide for weekend and seasonal exceptions).
Parking is not permitted in fire lanes, handicapped, rideshare,
restricted, or reserved spaces without proper permits or
authorization. Visitors parked in surface lots without a permit
will be subject to a ticket. Please call
Parking Services at (651)962-PARK before arriving to campus if you
have any questions on where to park.
Parking Meters

lots C, G and H, and on the South campus in lot N. Visitors issued a
South Campus Visitor Permit may also park in lot T on the south
campus.

Hourly parkers will have vehicle access
to Level R2 South of the Morrison Hall Ramp on a space available
basis. The entrance and exit to Level R2 of the ramp is on the south
side of Morrison Hall. The easiest way to enter is to drive north
through Lots H and E from the Summit Avenue and Cretin Avenue
entrances.
An electronic pay-as-you-leave system
provides a convenient method to park and pay for the amount of time
used. The electronic system offers the following ways to park by the
