ยป We Get It. Parking Can Be a Pain.
All it takes is a few seconds to double-check that you're parking mindfully.
Most streets around campus have permitted parking for those residents only. Yes, this also means that you can't bring your own permit to park closer to campus and walk over.
Your neighbors will appreciate your thoughtfulness, and who couldn't use a few extra brownie points or an extra parking spot for that matter?
If you are interested in getting a parking permit, read the University's full parking policy and register for a permit here.

Parking Reminders
- Make sure you are parking fully in your driveway, not blocking any sidewalks. This can be difficult to navigate for people using wheelchairs or strollers.
- Remember, parking is free on campus! However, ensure that you are not parked in permitted areas surrounding campus, even if you have a permit.
- Instead of parking a vehicle on your lawn, use your driveway or parking space in front of your home.
- If there are any inactive vehicles, park them on the driveway.
- Take your neighbors or roommates into consideration by leaving space for others to park, too.
Rideshare Incentives
There are other modes of transportation that you can take, including shuttles, buses, trains, or bikes.
- Chapman U-Pass Plan for OCTA Bus Riders: Receive a subsidy covering the first $30 of your monthly fares.
