Departments have options when it comes to issuing guest permits. If planning for special events, conferences, symposiums, and other such large events on campus you must first contact Event Parking Services for parking and permit information.
Your guests can self-purchase their own parking permits utilizing parking lot pay stations or the information kiosk.
The department can purchase daily or multi-day permits for guests. Departments can submit requests for up to 10 guests. These guests cannot be UCR campus employees (faculty or staff) or purchased with university funds (19900 fund). As there are no longer physical parking permits, multiple quantities may not be purchased for distribution in advance.
Guest Self-Purchase Options
- Hourly and daily permits can be purchased from self-service pay stations in select lots across campus or through ParkMobile. A comprehensive list of hourly/daily parking lots is available online.
- Daily parking can also be purchased at the Information Kiosks for Gold lots only. The kiosk ambassador can also provide assistance on purchasing parking for other lots.
- Weekly or monthly permits can be purchased in person at the Parking Services Office or by phone at (951) 827-8277.
