Student Options & Rates
Students can purchase semester-long parking through the online parking portal. We offer several parking options on the Monroe Park and MCV campuses. Due to demand, parking options vary by space availability and are sold via a lottery system on the MCV Campus and a first-come, first-served basis on the Monroe Park Campus.
- Commuter flex permits (except for 24-hr. commuter permits) are valid for 19 hours daily, Sunday through Saturday, in your designated parking location. This permit is ideal for students who are driving back and forth to campus each day.
- Evening Permits are valid from 3 p.m. to 2 a.m., Monday through Friday, in your designated parking location and from 3 p.m. to 2 a.m., Saturday and Sunday, in any unrestricted lot. View additional information regarding this permit type on our "Evening Permits" page. This permit is ideal for students with evening classes only that begin after 3 p.m.
- You can find a list of unrestricted lots on the Student Reciprocal Parking page.
- Housing permits are valid 24 hours, seven days per week. We offer two types of housing permits: "off-campus (24/7 commuter)" and "on-campus." Off-campus/24-7 commuter permits are beneficial for students residing within a five-mile radius of VCU's campuses. "On-campus" housing permits are intended for students residing in a VCU residence hall.
- Summer permits are sold for June and July and accommodate parking for 24 hrs. daily, seven days a week. This permit is ideal for students on campus during the summer months only.
Effective April 20, 2022, all 19-hour commuter permits will be valid in one's designated parking location seven days per week, versus the previous five days per week (Monday-Friday). Permit holders are still required to adhere to the 19-hour daily parking limit.
Short-term parking option
In the event a VCU parking permit does not meet your needs, daily/hourly parking is available at several campus locations. View additional information on our Parking Locations page.
Sales for summer '24 permits and fall '24 Monroe Park Campus housing permits will occur on Wednesday, May 15 at 9 a.m. All permits will be virtual and linked to one's license plate(s), so no hangtag will be mailed. Learn how to link your permit at go.vcu.edu/lpr.
