First-Year Resident Parking Information

Due to limited parking availability on campus, first-year residents should plan on NOT bringing a vehicle to campus with them.  First-year residents can seek an exemption from Transportation Services based on a documented, compelling need for campus parking by submitting a First Year Resident Exemption Request. Results will be emailed starting the week of August 22, 2022. Requests received after August 22, 2022 will receive a response within 7-10 business days. If you do not received a response after 10 business days, please contact us at parking@ucr.edu.
