Visitors may park at metered disability spaces (blue and white handicap signs) with the appropriate license plate or official handicap placard displayed on the vehicle dashboard. To view the location of metered disability spaces, please refer to the Campus Parking Map.

To utilize those spaces requiring an “A” permit and a disability license plate or official placard, visitors may purchase a daily permit at the rate of $5 per day through the online parking portal.
