Campus
Parking
The University has two parking garages at Storrs
for visitors and university staff. The North garage is
located across the street from the Lodewick Visitors
Center while the South Garage is located behind
the UConn Co-op bookstore and across the street
from Gampel Pavilion. During the week, the South
Garage is open 24 hours a day and North Garage
is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to
12:30 a.m. Weekend hours for the South Garage
are 24 hours a day and North Garage is open 10:30
a.m. until 12:30 a.m. If there is a scheduled event
on campus, the garage will charge a special rate
known as “Event Prepay.” “Event PrePay” varies
depending on the athletic event or the performance
at Jorgenson Center. Overnight parking in the North
garage or commuter lots is not permitted.
Guests can also park in any student lot between
the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., Monday
through Friday and on weekends. Parking in Fire
Lanes, Accessible Spaces or Reserved Spaces on
campus is strictly prohibited.
The Department of Parking Services suggests
that parents call them to inquire about the nearest
available parking to their student’s residence hall.
They will gladly help parents identify the options.

In order to qualify for a parking permit at UConn,
resident students must have earned a minimum
of 54 credits. There is no credit requirement for
commuter students.
