Spring Semester Student Parking Permits
Spring Semester student parking permits are now available for purchase via ParkND (found on InsideND) for all eligible students.
NOTE: IF YOU PURCHASED A FULL-YEAR PERMIT IN THE FALL OF 2022, YOU DO NOT NEED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER PERMIT FOR THE SPRING SEMESTER.
IF YOU HAVE A PERMIT THAT WAS PURCHASED IN THE FALL, BUT YOU NOW HAVE A NEW OR DIFFERENT VEHICLE, YOU CAN REMOVE THE PERMIT FROM YOUR WINDSHIELD AND MOVE IT TO THE CURRENT VEHICLE (EVEN IF IT'S ONLY TEMPORARY). BE SURE TO CALL OR EMAIL PARKING@ND.EDU TO UPDATE YOUR PARKND CUSTOMER PROFILE OR ASK ANY QUESTIONS.
Student Parking Permit Refunds
If you purchased a full-year permit, but you will not be on campus for the spring semester (due to early graduation or travel abroad) you can now easily peel the permit from your window and return it to our office for a refund of $100.00
Already left campus? Peel off the permit and mail it to Parking Services, 119 Hammes Mowbray Hall, Notre Dame, IN 46556. Upon receipt we will issue a credit of $100.00 to your student account.
Deadline to request a refund is January 14, 2023.
Can I park in a Faculty/Staff Parking Lot if the gate arms are up?
No. This includes the recently re-opened Bookstore Parking lots on the south-west end of campus near...the Bookstore...and all other faculty/staff lots. The gate arms may be up, but the signage at the entrance to the lot supersedes an open gate arm.
ALL FACULTY/STAFF LOTS require a valid (faculty/staff) permit between 6am - 4pm, Monday - Friday. Also watch for "NO PARKING" signs along lot edges, those spaces need to remain open during snow events from December 15 to March 15. Failure to move a vehicle from these areas during times when snow removal is required, could result in a vehicle impound.

Snow Removal Guidelines

Between December 15 and March 15, special guidelines are in effect to assist snow removal crews with plowing the parking lots on our campus. Vehicles left in the faculty/staff lots after midnight may be towed at the owner's expense. Individuals working late-evening shifts should park in the middle of the lot so curb lines can be properly cleared. All vehicles must display a valid parking permit.
Resident Assistants may receive notice to move student vehicles to a specific lot so other lots may be plowed; students will have until the designated time given in the notice to move their vehicle to a specified area. All vehicles must be removed from the designated temporary lot within 24 hours or whenever normal assigned lots are clear.
In some lots, spaces along curb-lines may be restricted to assist the snow removal process. Look for signage "NO PARKING During Snow Events". Vehicles parked in these spaces may be towed at the owner’s expense.
Do not park on end caps (end of rows), or in the driving lanes of any lot. As this will impede snow removal.
