Student Parking

CSU GO is a Proximity Based Parking System, where the price of the permit is determined by the proximity to the campus core. Note, not all overflow parking may be in the campus core. 

Several prepaid permit options are available and vary by commuter and on campus resident (Euclid Commons, Langston, and Edge). All permits are limited and may sell out. Please read below for important information related to parking privileges. Students can pay for permits via Student Account or credit card online. The Parking office offers cash, credit, check, and student account payment options.

• Virtual permits are valid only for the registered license plate(s).
• Only one registered vehicle may be parked at any given time. 
• Students must be registered for classes before a permit can be purchased (allow 24 hours after registration to access the site).
• Printable Confirmation Receipts - you will receive a confirmation email once you have successfully purchased a permit. That email includes a link to print a temporary receipt to show the attendant to enter the garage.

• The confirmation receipt lists all locations and time restrictions assigned to your permit type.  
• Permits do not provide a specific space in a preferred lot or garage.
• If you do not have your Viking Card, you will need to park in a non-gated facility (if applicable) or in a visitor space and pay to park. Do not attempt to exit a gated garage by tailgating or lifting the gate.
