Best Places to Find a Spot UVSC, below the Richards Building, usually has something available.
Good Luck Getting a Spot Here The Y lots below the JSB are always full in the morning. If you have class after 8 a.m., just walk!

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

No campus is perfect, and parking just may be BYU’s
Achilles’ heel. Parking passes are inexpensive; however, an almost unlimited number are sold, so a pass is no guarantee of a spot. Students with classes after 8 a.m. will have to hope for a miracle if they want to park anywhere near campus. Even if you can get into a Y lot south of campus, you will have to hike up many flights of stairs to get onto campus.

Enter the saving grace of the BYU parking situation: the free bus pass. This allows students to avoid the parking nightmare altogether and ride the bus that drops them off right in the middle of campus. Freshmen are allowed to park near the dorms, and given the great location of the dorms, they have little need to drive.

Parking Stinks!

I have only tried to park at my on-campus apartment. It took me 15-30 minutes of driving around to find a parking spot! Parking is free, but it is a pain to go anywhere because you worry for the rest of the time, hoping you can get a spot! I usually walked anywhere I needed to go.

Parking Is Pretty Rough

If you don't need a car it's better not to bring one... Parking is hard to find. I never got a ticket and when I didn't have a car I did fine.

Terrible

Free, but you get what you pay for. No spots free ever! Basically if you have classes at 8 or 9 in the morning, you will find a spot no problem, but good luck finding a spot if your classes start later. Some people just park in faculty parking and eat 1-3 tickets a semester.

Facts

Getting a Parking Permit

Anyone can get a parking permit; there is no limit on the number sold. You do have to have an emissions test for your car, so if you are coming from a state that doesn’t require one, be prepared to pay $30 for the emissions test.
