To park on campus, you need to have a permit or pay for timed parking:
Additional permit options include:
We use a virtual permit system, so you won’t receive a physical permit.
In addition to purchasing a permit, you can pay for timed parking in designated areas throughout campus, including parking pay stations and a mobile payment (AMP) option.
Please read the complete parking rules and regulations and note the following:
Employees and students who have state-issued disability license plates or placards must obtain the appropriate NIU parking permit. They can then park in a regular space as well as any space designated for persons with disabilities, as long as their person with disabilities placecard or license plate is displayed. They can also receive a reserved parking space for a reduced fee.
Visitors with state-issued persons with disability license plates or placards need to have a visitor permit or utilize other pay parking options. They can then park in regular spaces as well as spots designated for persons with disabilities.
Learn more about accessibility at NIU.
