Special Events Parking – What You Need to Know

Planning to attend a campus event? Here’s how parking works during special occasions:

• Parking Services in Charge:
  Whenever there’s a special event or campus activity, Parking Services takes the lead in managing parking and traffic flow.
• Temporary Changes:
  Events may temporarily change normal parking routines. This could include street closures, traffic redirection, or being asked to park in a different lot than usual. Look out for signs indicating any temporary restrictions.
• Accessible Parking:
  Accessible parking is always available for campus events. If you need it, you’ll find it.
• Parking Fees:
  If you don’t have a valid permit, a parking fee will apply during events.
• Follow Instructions:
  Please follow the directions of parking and traffic staff. Ignoring them could result in a ticket or even having your vehicle towed.
• Department Permits:
  Permits purchased with university department funds can’t be used for personal parking at events.
• CU Events Center Parking:
  During events at the CU Events Center, nearby lots may be reserved for event use. If you’re a resident student and your usual lot is full, you may be directed to a different area. Please return your vehicle to your assigned lot once the event is over.
