Campus expanding overnight parking lot patrols to all campus lots to increase safety

Campus expanding overnight parking lot patrols to all campus lots to increase safety Nancy Portner Fri, 07/17/2026 - 10:08

Effective Aug. 1, 2026, all 91��ý campus parking lots will be monitored at all times, and a permit or payment will be required at all times. This change, endorsed by campus leadership, increases parking lot safety and provides simple and consistent parking rules across campus.

Impacted lots

Main Campus: 282, 308, 402, 419, 420, 436, 470

East Campus: 543, 553, 556, 560, 575, 576, 580

Lot locations can be found on the interactive campus map.

Why this change

While most campus lots already require a permit or payment at all times and are monitored 24/7, a small number of lots are unmonitored at night, resulting in increased safety concerns. Patrols through lots that were previously not monitored at night will increase visibility and safety for lot users, most of whom start or end their shifts when a permit or payment is required and are already paying for parking.

Minimizing impacts

Updated signage in all impacted lots will be posted in the weeks to come. Those utilizing the Main Campus lots from 10 p.m. to 7:30am and/or the East Campus lots from 7 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. will be required to purchase permits or utilize short term payment options beginning Aug. 1, 2026.
