To our first-year students, welcome to IUP! To returning students, welcome back! Our staff looks forward to seeing you on campus as the semester begins. We will be in contact with you periodically throughout the year to notify you of parking-related updates. If you have any questions, please visit our website. You can reach us by phone at 724-357-8748 or by email at Parking-Services@iup.edu with any inquiries.
Some things to keep in mind as we start the fall semester:
- Full parking enforcement will begin Thursday, August 21, 2025. Please be advised that reserved spaces in the garage are currently being enforced.
- Please do not park in reserved garage spaces. If you have a reserved space in the garage and someone else is parked in it, please park in a pay-by-plate space on the fourth floor and notify Parking Services about the issue.
- All vehicles must register with their respective designation (Faculty, Staff, Commuter, or Long Term). You may submit your registration via our website.
- All vehicles are required to park head-in with the license plate facing the drive lane. If you wish to regularly back into a parking space, contact Parking Services to purchase an IUP-branded novelty plate that you can display on the front of your vehicle.
- Regardless of your registered permit designation, if you park in the yellow “Pay By Plate” spaces, you must pay $0.25 for 25 minutes at the kiosk or using the Passport Parking mobile app.
- The pay machines in paid parking lots have been configured to use license plates for payment. When parking in paid lots, it is necessary to enter the license plate number of the vehicle into the parking machines located at each pay-by-plate kiosk. All vehicles using these pay lots are required to park head-in, with the license plate facing the drive lane. Out-of-state vehicles (with a front-facing license plate) are permitted to back into a space, as they will still have a license plate facing the drive lane.
