Commuter Life FAQ's

Where do I get a parking permit and how much will it cost?
All vehicles parked on campus require a parking permit and must be registered. Parking permits can be obtained online through KC Connect. Commuters are automatically billed to cover the parking permit cost.

Can I use the same parking permit on more than one car?
Permits may not be transferred from one vehicle to another. Temporary parking permits must be obtained by students and employees who are utilizing a rented or borrowed vehicle for a short period of time. Please obtain a temporary permit from either the Office of Public Safety, or Student Business Services before parking your vehicle.

What parking lots can I use?
Commuters are permitted to use the following parking lots:

• Main Lots across the street from Victorian homes
• Lot across the street from Hedgewood (President's home)
• Lot behind Gardner Hall
• Lot adjacent to Gambal Athletic Center
• Lot behind Art Building (shared with faculty & staff)
