Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The general attitude among students at LMU is that parking is a huge problem that is quickly getting out of control. Public Safety assigns students to a specific lot depending on their dorm, while commuter students are stuck in University Hall or the visitor lot. Parking generally requires a little bit of luck and a little bit of patience. It is not uncommon for students to drive around for 30 minutes to an hour in search of a spot; however, the parking garage at University Hall usually has spaces available at all times. The downside to University Hall? As one of the most recent buildings acquired by LMU, U-Hall is separate from the rest of the campus and requires about an eight-minute walk to the main buildings on Alumni Mall.

On the positive side, parking at LMU is free, but students cannot have more than one vehicle on campus. However, on the negative side, a parking permit does not guarantee a parking space, so there is usually a shortage of spaces for the number of cars on campus. Additionally, as the University admits larger freshman classes each year, the parking situation worsens, but the University has no plans to address it. Parking tickets at LMU are high, with no fine under $50. Public safety patrols the campus at all times to catch violators of the strict parking statutes. When parking at LMU, remember that the free parking permit does come at the price of added frustration and higher parking tickets.

Not Too Bad

Parking is usually a disaster, but its getting better due to the Valet they just implemented. The free valet allows students to drop off their cars and go to class during the afternoon.

Sub-Par

The parking on campus gets bad from around noon-4pm. Other than that you will definitely find a parking spot. Public safety does not give out tickets unless they absolutely have to. You do not need a car at all on campus.

Parking is pretty difficult but there are a handful of spots. Cost is about average.

Getting a Parking Permit

Parking permits are available for all students, faculty, and staff for free. To obtain a parking permit, go to Public Safety in Daum Hall with your student ID and vehicle registration. Students can park in specific on-campus lots depending on their dorm, and all students can park in University Hall and the visitor lot. However, parking on campus requires time and patience because spaces fill up fast, especially in Parking Lot A and the Drollinger Parking Garage. Your best bet? Park in University Hall’s P2 and P3 where there are typically several dozen open spots at any given time.
