Event Parking

If you are planning an event such as a conference, concert, meeting, or sporting event, please complete the Event Parking Form a MINIMUM of 2 weeks prior to your event. Events requested in less than 2 weeks can result in a late request fee. An Events Coordinator from the CMU Parking Services Office will review your request and follow up with any questions or concerns. A little advance planning can help ensure a smooth parking experience for your guests and help avoid the inconvenience and expense of receiving a parking ticket. We hope this information helps your visitors have a pleasant and enjoyable experience while on the CMU campus.

We are now utilizing our Event Module system, which will require an event voucher code for events with more than 35 attendees. Guests will go online and claim a permit with the assigned event voucher code before coming to campus. This new process will help us manage event parking more efficiently and ensure consistency for all event parking requests. This process will apply to most events moving forward. 

Before you complete the Event Parking Form, please note the following minimum event guidelines and guest requirements:

• If your event has fewer than 35 guests (voucher codes claimed) in a day, your department (CC & GL) will be charged a departmental guest permit fee of $2.50 per permit for each voucher code claimed.  
• If your event has 35 or more guests (voucher codes claimed) in a day, your department will not be charged for departmental guest permits. 
• University departments will be required to send Departmental Guest permit invites for events with less than 35 guests.
• Event parking is for OFF-CAMPUS guests only. CMU faculty/staff and students are not permitted to use event parking.
• Lot #41, handicapped spaces, service drives, reserved spaces, restricted areas, and fire lanes are enforced 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, year-round.
• Meter/mobile pay (Pango) fees must be paid between 6:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Mon – Fri.  No parking shall be permitted in a metered/mobile pay zone between 2:00 a.m. – 6:00 a.m.
• All vehicles must be parked within designated parking spaces.
