For Visitors:

The Mason Street Parking Deck has 31 Pay-By-Space parking spots on level 2. Parking in the Pay-By-Space level of the Mason Street Deck works similarly to parking at a parking meter. Instead of inserting coins into an individual meter, drivers will enter the assigned number of their parking space into one of two pay stations located on the ground floor. Payment for the space can then be made with coins, credit card, or JAC.

Pay-By-Space parking will have a maximum allowed time of 45 minutes Monday to Friday from 7:00AM-5:00PM and a 3-hour time limit from 5:00PM-7:00AM.  There is a 3-hour limit allowed on the weekend from 5:00PM Friday to 7:00AM Monday. Exceptions apply for students visiting the University Health Center for an appointment and recruiters visiting the Office of Career and Academic Planning. Health Center patients and recruiters should contact the department they are visiting to obtain a code to enter into the pay stations on the ground floor of the deck. The code will allow parking at no charge for a pre-set amount of time.

The Parking Services Department, located in the Champions Drive Parking Deck, provides visitors with parking permits at no charge during normal business hours (7:00 AM - 5:00 PM Monday through Friday). Visitors who arrive at times other than those specified above should park in R1, R2, or R4 Lots and obtain a permit from Parking Services as soon as possible. Visitors are not required to display permits after 3:00 PM on Friday through 7:00 AM Monday and may park in Commuter and Resident lots. Some exceptions may apply on game days.
