Parking

Parking on campus is very limited, particularly near the Illini Union.

We recommend that you purchase Day Meter Permits for FSI 2007. The Day Meter Permits are available at a cost of $7 per day and may be used at University meters only (not city meters). University meters are designated by the block “I” displayed across the top of the meter. They become valid when you scratch off the month, day, and year and place the permit on the rearview mirror with the date displayed toward the windshield. These are one day use permits only. Day Meter Permits are available for purchase on-line or in-person at the Parking Office (1110 W. Springfield, Public Safety Building, 2nd Floor, Urbana) during business hours (8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M., Monday-Friday).

For a map of available parking meters, see http://www.parking.uiuc.edu/campus_map/default.cfm

The Day Meter Permit is valid for meters in streets and lots marked Yellow.
