Permit Rules

 

Permits are nontransferable. You may not give your permit to another person. If you bring a different vehicle to campus, you many move your permit to that vehicle. Please notify the parking office of this change. If you no longer need a permit you may return it to the Parking Division office for a refund. All refunds are prorated monthly and will be issued to your Ubill. We do not issue a refund under $5.00.

 

 

The Commuter Lot at Iowa State Center

Commuters can park at the designated (A3, A4, B4, B5, B6, C5, C6) parking lots at the Iowa State Center for free and take Cy-Ride's Orange Route into campus. Overnight parking is not available in the commuter lots. 

Paying on Campus

Commuters have the option of paying to park each time they come to campus. Pay by Stall machines are available in lot 100 (Lied Recreation Center), the upper level of the East Campus Parking Deck on the east side of campus and lot 21 on the west end of campus. There are also meters in some of the lots, but carefully read the signs and meters as some have time limits that do not accommodate classes.
