Student Options & Rates
Students are welcome to purchase their semester parking through the online portal. We offer a number of available parking options for students on the Monroe Park and MCV campuses. Please note, parking options vary by space availability and parking is sold via lottery system on the MCV Campus and on a first come, first served basis on the Monroe Park Campus.
All student permits offer reciprocal parking privileges. You may learn more about our reciprocal parking privileges on the "Student Reciprocal Parking" page.
