Students

We provide parking for more than 7,000 students each semester. Parking is sold by the semester (fall, spring, summer) and purchased online. Permits can accommodate commuters, on- and off-campus residential/housing students, evening classes, and summer attendees. If a semester-long parking permit does not meet your needs, daily/hourly parking is available at several parking locations on campus.

Fall/spring parking is sold via a parking lottery on the MCV Campus and on a first-come, first-served basis on the Monroe Park Campus. View permit types, options, rates, and more using the links below. 

Please note the schedule for 2024 permit sales:

• Summer permits: May 15, 9 a.m.
• (UPDATED!) Fall housing and 24/7 commuter permits: June 25, 9 a.m.
• Fall MCV Campus commuter permits: July 15, 9 a.m.
• Fall Monroe Park Campus commuter permits: July 30, 9 a.m.

All permits will be virtual and linked directly to your license plate(s). That means no hangtag will be mailed. If you need help linking your permit, please review the instructions at go.vcu.edu/lpr.
