All vehicles parked on Grounds require a valid parking permit. Resident student parking availability varies widely by housing location and is not guaranteed on-site. In general, the newest housing locations (Bond, Gaston, Ramazani) have the fewest spaces in proportion to the number of housing beds. Some parking options are available on Grounds in locations not adjacent to housing. These areas are accessible via UTS.
Students living off-Grounds may purchase commuter parking permits in limited locations. Parking availability is subject to change.

Parking Eligibility for First-Years
University policy prohibits undergraduate first-year students from having vehicles on-Grounds during their first-year (fall & spring semesters). First-year parking exceptions are only granted in extraordinary circumstances.
First-year parking requests will be reviewed after First-year housing assignments go out to students in early July. Please complete the First-year parking exception application in Mid-July for consideration. First-year student athletes with regular practices away from Grounds should notify their coaches to seek a parking exception.
Students who receive an exception are eligible to purchase a Storage parking permit (as space allows).

Motorcycle and Moped Parking
Parking and Operation
Motorcycles and mopeds are considered motor vehicles in Virginia and are subject to parking and operating restrictions similar to other vehicles while on Grounds. All motorcycles and mopeds must be registered with Virginia's Department of Motor Vehicles and must have valid license plates and VIN numbers clearly displayed. In addition, they must have a valid parking permit to park on Grounds and are subject to parking enforcement.
Parking Locations
The motorcycle and moped parking map shows the designated parking locations. On Grounds locations are designated via signage as either moped parking only, motorcycle parking only, or moped and motorcycle parking. Motorcycles and mopeds are also allowed to park in the Blue/Commuter lots vehicle spaces.
Parking is prohibited in the following areas:
- Bike racks
- Sidewalks and green spaces (unless designated otherwise with signage)
- Areas that block building entrances or exits
- Inside residence halls and other University buildings
Accessible Parking
Students with a permanent or temporary disability may submit requests to the Student Disability Access Center (SDAC) to obtain parking and transportation accommodations. If the accommodation results in a reserved parking assignment, reserved parking rates will apply. SDAC representatives will work with P&T on options.
