Getting Started: How Parking Works

All parking on campus is paid parking. You may choose the option that works best for you – Daily, Monthly, or Term. Before selecting a permit, please review the parking information on our website and check the campus parking map to determine which zone and stall type best fits your needs.

Step 1: Choose Your Zone

Notre Dame Campus zones:

• North, South, and West – shared by staff and students
• Central – staff only

Permit availability by zone:

• West: Power permits only
• North, Central and South: Power and Non‑Power permits

Step 2: Choose Your Permit Type

• Power permits: Valid only in stalls with plugins (not EV charging stations)
• Non-power permits: Valid only in stalls without plug‑ins 

If a permit type is not visible online, it has been sold out.

Step 3: Purchase Your Permit

• Go to the Parking Portal and click Get Permits.
• Log in using the appropriate authentication method.
• If Accessible Parking is required, follow the instructions via the Accessible Parking link.
• Select your preferred zone and permit type.
• Verify vehicle information, check all confirmation boxes, and click Next.
• Review your purchase via View Details. If incorrect, click Remove and start over.
• Enter payment information and your preferred email address, then click Pay Now.

Parking Tips

• Park only in your assigned zone and stall type.
• Power stalls are identified by plug ins; non-power stalls have none. No signs are posted.
• Check lot signs – daily and permit holder areas are separate.
• Use the campus map or contact the Parking office if unsure.
