Campus Parking

Accessible Parking

All employees and students with handicapped placards or plates issued by a state department of motor vehicles must display a UConn parking permit. Individuals with accessible permits are entitled to specially designated spaces within their permit areas.

Employees with State Handicapped permits are required to purchase a University of Connecticut parking permit for the area they choose to park in. Handicapped placard information must be submitted to the Parking Services Office with the permit registration application. Also, be reminded that the Transportation Department operates an Accessible Van Service. To contact them for scheduling and information call (860) 486-4991.

Students with State Handicapped permits register their vehicles through the Parking Services and will be charged according to the location they park. In the event that on-campus transportation is required, arrangements for the Accessible Van Service will be made through the Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD). Further information is available from the CSD at (860) 486-2020.

Parking Services is not authorized to issue temporary handicapped permits to employees or students. Applications for temporary state handicapped permits are available through the State of Connecticut Motor Vehicle Department at (800) 842-8222.

Visitor Parking

It is the responsibility of the host/hostess to inform guests of the University's parking regulations. Visitors to campus are directed to park in either the metered areas (not to exceed 45 minutes) or a parking garage.

For information about parking garage rates and hours:

• Call the North Garage at (860) 486-6267, or visit the North Garage Information page.
• Call the South Garage at (860) 486-9088, or visit the South Garage Information page.

Special Event Parking

Parking demands during events in the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion necessitate that the North and South Parking Garages and several surface parking lots (Employee Lot 8, behind McMahon; Lot 9, west of the North Garage; Student Lot X) be designated for our event patrons. These lots will be posted to indicate our event parking restrictions. These areas will be reserved for Gampel event attendees beginning at 3:30pm for night games and three hours before the start of day games. Vehicles violating these signs are subject to ticketing and/or towing. For a list of basketball games at Gampel Pavilion for the 2009 - 2010 season click on Basketball Schedule. For information about other special event dates and designated lots, call Parking Services at (860) 486-4930.

Meter Parking

Meters are designated for visitors; however, students and employees may use metered areas for the time posted provided they pay the meter with the exception of meters behind the Fieldhouse. Meter payments are required between the hours of 7AM - 5PM.

Load Zones

Load zones are restricted to loading and unloading of materials and are limited to 15 minutes 24 hours per day, unless otherwise posted. Four-way flashers must be left on to indicate loading. Notes left on vehicles will not be accepted. Vehicles cannot be parked in load zones overnight or on weekends.

Disabled Vehicles

Disabled vehicles must be reported to the University Police Department at (860) 486-4800. The University reserves the right to tow vehicles at the owner's expense if it is determined to be a safety issue.
