Pay Station Parking

About Pay Stations

The Pay Station operates like a parking meter -- you pre-pay for the amount of time you need using a credit card, debit card or cash (exact change only, no refunds). Patrons may purchase up to four (4) hours of parking at the time of payment (once payment is submitted, no additional time can be added at the Pay Station).

Enter your parking space number into the Pay Station, request the number of hours you need and submit payment. The Pay Station issues a receipt upon payment that provides you with the time your parking expires and your space number.

CSU Prepaid permits are not valid in at Pay Station spaces except for when displayed with a disabled parking placard on vehicles parked in designated disabled parking spaces.
