Eligibility:

• Commuters living outside the parking perimeter who have completed 110 credit hours may request a Center for the Arts Garage, gray, red, or a night/weekend permit.

Winter & Summer Sessions:

• All commuters are eligible for a gray permit during winter session and summertime. Red permit holders may upgrade to gray during winter and summertime for an additional fee.
