Parking Garages

There are four gated parking garages on campus: Henderson Garage, Atwater Garage, Fee Lane Garage and Forrest Ave Garage.

All gated facilities require hourly payment or valid permit display beginning at 7 a.m. when the gates are lowered. 

Overnight parking is not permitted for any vehicle that does not display a valid EMP permit or a permit that is provided for 24 hour parking in a specific garage. Citations are issued to vehicles without a valid permit and parked prior to the opening of garages, at 7 a.m., Monday through Friday.

Parking is free from 6 p.m. on Friday through 7 a.m. on Monday, unless otherwise noted. If you have an EM-P permit, you may access the garages free of charge any time.

Gated facilities require hourly payment upon exit when the gates are lowered, unless a valid permit is scanned for entry. Non-gated facilities require a valid permit be displayed beginning at 7 a.m. weekdays.

We accept CrimsonCard, American Express, Discover, JCB, MasterCard, or Visa. As of June 1, 2021, cash payments will not be accepted.
