The On-line Visitor Parking System

The on-line Visitor Parking Reservation System was established for the purpose of managing on-campus guest-parking spaces via the web.  University employees are encouraged not to use the visitors parking system to reserve parking spaces for faculty, staff, or students.  This system is for the sole use of guests to the university.

Please make all special requests for visitor/conference/meeting parking using this new requisition screen.  Doing so will expedite the request and will simplify the confirmation process.  It is no longer necessary to call, e-mail, or memo a request to anyone in Public Safety.  If you do not receive a reply from the Visitor Parking System, please be advised that the parking reservation was not executed properly and should be repeated.  If there are any questions as to the use of this screen, call Mike Dabrowski at x7190.
