Parking Fees & Fines

Permits required on all three campuses through December 12th, 2018

Lewis & Clark’s Board of Trustees approves a schedule of parking fees each year as part of the budget process.

When purchasing a parking pass, students must pay for their parking permits in full via credit/debit card, check or cash. Employees may purchase only semester/annual parking permits by authorizing monthly payroll deductions or paying in full at time of purchase. Employees may not purchase daily permits using the payroll deduction option.

Bus pass purchases may be made online or in person at the Transportation & Parking office located in Facilities Services (building 47 on the campus map) or at Law School Business Services for Law School students. Bus passes may also be purchased and picked up at Campus Safety.

Semester/annual parking permits may be returned for a refund of the unused portion of the semester. Monthly bus passes are not refundable nor can they be replaced, if lost.

Please note: Students, Faculty, and Staff not purchasing a semester/annual pass must purchase (at no charge) a Vehicle Registration. Additionally, a daily parking permit is also needed when driving vehicle to campus during enforcement hours in lieu of a semester permit. Daily parking passes can be purchased online or at parking kiosks in certain lots.
