The University has approximately 1,448 parking spaces for students to park while attending PSU. For this reason, it is important to make your decision to bring a vehicle to school early and be certain you purchase a parking permit as soon as possible.
Parking permits should be placed on either the driver’s side, inside lower left corner of your windshield OR the driver’s side, passenger door small window portion that does not roll down. For heavily tinted vehicles permits should be placed in the windshield location.
If you have a paper temporary or guest permit, it should be placed face first up and visible on the dashboard of your vehicle at all times. Permits placed upside down, on the floor of your vehicle, or otherwise obscured are not acceptable visibility. It is your responsibility to ensure they’re properly displayed as you leave your vehicle.
All motorcycle permits should be placed in a highly visible area.
Sometimes, new or mid-year transfer students are not yet uploaded into the pre-approved parking list.
