The parking permit process — required for every vehicle — improves safety and enables Nazareth to gauge demand for parking and continue to make adjustments.

What to have handy when you register/renew your parking permit:

• License plate number 
• Vehicle make and model (e.g., Toyota, Camry)
• Naz ID (for students, faculty, staff)
• Driver's contact information

See customized details below.

Among the changes implemented to improve vehicle and pedestrian safety, increase the supply and availability of parking spaces, reduce intra-campus travel, and improve the visitor experience:

• Nearly 200 parking spaces have been added across campus. The Q Lot has been extended and the T Lot behind Peckham Hall has been made permanent.
• The majority of the new spaces have been dedicated to commuter students, faculty, and staff.
• The F Lot next to Shults and Smyth is now solely dedicated to visitor parking. Additional visitor parking has been added to the A Lot.
• Across campus, 27 reserved faculty spaces have been added.
• The P Lot (stadium) has been modified. The only entrance/exit is on Golden Flyer Drive.

New color-coded signage helps you find the appropriate parking lot:

• Purple: resident students
• Gold: faculty, staff, and commuter students
• Red: reserved
• White: visitor

The parking permit process — required for every vehicle — improves safety and enables Nazareth to gauge demand for parking and continue to make adjustments.

Student parking fees (include tax; charged directly to your student account) for the 2020-21 academic year:

• $90 for the academic year
• $50 for a single semester (fall only or spring only)

Parking fees are not refundable.

Steps to Take

1. Before or at the start of each semester, have your Naz ID number handy and apply to register/renew/update your parking permit. A current parking permit (sticker) is required each semester, displayed at all times when parking on campus.
2. Pick up (from Campus Safety) your new parking sticker and attach it right away to your rear passenger window. Vehicles not registered with Campus Safety, not parked in an appropriate space or lot, or not displaying a valid parking permit, will be ticketed and are subject to booting, towing, and loss of parking privileges.
3. If you live on campus (students and residence life staff): Park in a PURPLE lot — J, K, H, I, L, N, O, S, or French House. Resident permits also are valid in P Lot. View parking map.
4. Commuter students (any student not living on campus): Park in a GOLD lot — A, C, G, J Ext., M, Q, or T. There is no overnight parking in Commuter Lots. All overnight guests or faculty, staff, and students leaving their vehicle on campus overnight must park in P Lot. View parking map.
