Summer Parking

General Information

IMPORTANT NOTE: Students and housing guests who purchase their summer permits online should print out or save the permit sent to them in their email receipt immediately after purchase.  The link to the printed permit expires after a very short period of time and will no longer be available for print from your email.  The printed permit must be displayed on your dashboard when parking.  If not secured, the permit can blow out the window while driving, so we recommend you save a copy of it in case you need to reprint it.

Summer parking is sold temporarily. Summer parking for students must be for a minimum of one week.  Summer parking for employees must be for a minimum of one month.  The charge is based on the lot assignment and the duration of the permit.  Please have your CWRU ID card with you if purchasing summer parking in person.

There are no transfers, cancellations, or refunds for any summer permits. Ensure you know which lot you are purchasing for your summer permit before the transaction is finalized.
