First-Year Resident Parking Information

Due to limited parking availability, as well as to support UCR’s sustainability efforts, first-year residents are not allowed to bring a vehicle to campus.  We understand that due to certain situations, some first-year students may need a vehicle.  A First Year Resident Exemption Request form will be available online beginning August 1, 2023.  You can expect an answer to your request beginning the week of August 21, 2023.  Requests received after August 21, 2023 will receive a response within 7-10 business days.  Exemptions are allowed only for compelling reasons such as for health and safety issues or for an off-campus job. Those requests not immediately approved will be placed on a wait-list.
