Visitor FAQ

Yes. Visitor permits are required to park in any campus parking lot Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. (9 p.m. or 24 hours in some areas). Some spaces in Gold lots require a permit until 9 p.m. All Green lots require a permit 7 days a week, 24 hours.

There are three self-serve pay-to-park lots on campus, which allow you to pay for parking hourly using coins, or credit/debit card.

Visitor permits can be purchased online or at the Parking Office located in the Intermodal Transit Center on the corner of Sweet Avenue and Railroad Street (1006 Railroad Street).

If you are a guest of a department or college on campus, ask the individual coordinating your visit about Visitor permit options and if they have a Visitor permit available for you upon your arrival.

Visitor permits validate parking in any regular space in all Gold, Red, Blue, Silver, Purple, or Green lots on campus. They are also valid in any space marked as Visitor parking, or Reserved - Visitor permit required spaces. These special spaces are located in various locations throughout campus, view the campus map for more details on locations of visitor parking spaces.

Visitor permits are not valid in meters, reserved spaces (marked for anything other than Visitor permits), disability spaces (unless a state disability permit is also displayed), fire lanes, no parking areas, or on the campus walkway system.

Yes. If you are visiting campus and you have a permanent or temporary Disability permit from any state, you must purchase a Visitor permit to be displayed in conjunction with your Disability permit. Doing so allows you to park in any Disability space on campus, any colored lot, in designated spaces on the campus walkway system, or in any space designated for visitor parking.

After hours (5 p.m. to 6 a.m., Monday - Friday), on Saturday and Sunday, and during holidays and academic breaks, a University of Idaho permit is NOT required to be displayed with a permanent or temporary Disability permit.
