Event Request

A department or registered student organization (RSO) hosting an event is responsible for informing their guests of the University’s parking requirements or specific parking arrangements made for their event. To obtain event parking pricing, the host must have at least 15 visitors (not UD-affiliated). If a department or RSO chooses to pre-purchase parking, please complete a Request for Services – Parking webform.

For small events (under 15 visitors), please instruct Visitors to use pay-to-park lots or Garages utilizing the Passport payment system.

Events held on the Main / Central campus will be instructed to use a parking garage or the Visitors Center lot.

Events not held on the Main / Central campus (North campus, South campus, STAR campus, etc.) can request the use of individual parking lots for an event. Requests will be subject to approval based on the area and use. Departments or RSOs can obtain event passes. These passes would be valid in a specific lot for a specific day. Event passes are only valid for visitors. Students and staff working on campus must purchase parking or have a valid parking permit. In the case of large events, a department or RSO can purchase the entire lot. The lot must be purchased in its entirety. Parking Services can provide quotes by lot upon request.

To request event parking, complete and submit a Request for Services – Parking webform.   A representative will contact you. If your event requires special traffic control equipment, such as cones, barrels, etc., contact Parking Services for costs. We can assist you with determining the best option for your event based on the information you provide.
