Passport Parking Pay-by-phone

The university uses the Passport Parking pay-by-phone app to manage visitor parking on campus. Non-affiliated guests no longer need to stop by the Parking Office to purchase a temporary parking pass for the length of your visit. Visitors may park in any one of the designated areas in the parking lot behind Swem and establish a pay-by-phone session to cover the cost of parking. Take note of the zone number posted where you parked.

How to pay for parking with the app:
