The Case Western Reserve University Department of Access Services manages the University's parking program and is responsible for implementing the University's policies and procedures.
Case Western Reserve is a member of the Central Parking Operation (CPO), which is managed by LAZ Parking. The University's parking policy has incorporated all applicable laws, policies, and procedures required to maintain a responsive approach to issues of health and safety, violations, and towing appeals.
CWRU's parking philosophy is to provide parking to CWRU faculty, staff, and students on a "first-come, first-served" basis. Our overall objective is to maintain equity and fairness while fulfilling the needs of all parking requests against the constraints of available university resources.
Our primary interest is to foster convenience and safety for all people working and visiting the campus and this reminds us that parking on the CWRU campus is a privilege, not a right. It takes all of us working together to facilitate the university's efficient operation. Please acquaint yourself with the current parking regulations governing campus parking.
Access Services is here to help!
If you have questions about parking availability, costs, locations please feel free to give us a call and one of our coordinators can assist you.
All parking lots are constructed, maintained, operated, and administered through parking fees which are paid by all patrons.
Parking regulations for Case Western Reserve University are published on an annual basis, both in print and on this website.
