How to Park on Campus

Payment for parking on campus is required 24/7, 365 days a year as soon as you park your vehicle.

Pay-By-Cell (Recommended)
You can use your cell phone to make payments for daily parking. Download and pay using the ParkMobile app

Pay-By-License Plate
The 5th Street Garage, Tivoli Parking Garage, and all surface lots use pay-by-license plate machines. Simply enter your license plate number and form of payment (cash or debit/credit) at the pay station. The receipt may be kept for your records; however, it does not need to be displayed on your dashboard. 

Parking Permits

Pre-paid permits guarantee parking in certain lots on campus. Auraria Campus students, faculty, and staff can purchase parking permits through the Parking and Transportation Office. A permit saves you .25 cents a day on parking. Permits and passports can be customized Monday–Thursday to match your schedule and provide you with the greatest savings. More info HERE.

Discounted Prepayment: Passport Program

Parking & Transportation Services offers the option to pre-pay for parking by the semester at a discounted rate. The Passport Program allows daily parking in most campus lots according to the level purchased (Gold, Silver, Bronze). This program has in-and-out privileges, and parking spots are subject to daily space availability. More info HERE

Payroll Deduction for Employees

Faculty and staff from the Community College of Denver, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and the Auraria Higher Education have the opportunity to pre-pay on a monthly basis for parking permits or passports via payroll deduction.  Apply by visiting the Parking & Transportation Services Office (777 Lawrence Way, in the 7th Street Garage).

Important Information for Faculty, Staff, and Students 

Students, faculty, and staff can register their vehicle using a current Campus ID and vehicle information to avoid paying the Nights and Weekends parking rate. You may register more than one vehicle. Once you register your vehicle(s), please note that it will take at least 24 hours for your information to be updated in the system.

If You Have a Full-Time Parking Permit or Passport
If you currently have a full-time Parking Passport or Permit through Parking & Transportation Services, there is no need to register your vehicle. Your vehicle is already in the parking system.

If You Have a Custom Parking Permit or Passport
All other permits and passport variations require vehicle registration to cover the days your passport or permit is not valid.

Nights and Weekends Parking Rate for Unregistered Vehicles
A $20 Nights and Weekends rate is charged for Auraria Campus parking lots and garages for vehicles that are not registered. *Please note: The Tivoli Garage Nights and Weekend Rate is $25. Nights and Weekends rates are in effect:
