Transportation

• Should I bring my car to school?

  We encourage incoming residents to visit Chico State’s parking website. Current students have the option to renew their parking pass for the next semester. If not renewed, students are then able to sign up for a parking pass through Parking Services on a first-come first-served basis.

• University Village parking permits

  Please note that University Village parking permits are not valid in the on-campus parking lots, and UV residents may not purchase G parking permits. You can find parking information at Student Financial Services Parking Page.

• Parking Permit Renewal

  Parking permits are not automatically charged to a student’s account and therefore not guaranteed. All residents who plan on returning next semester and currently hold a parking permit must repurchase their parking permit. Current permit holders will be notified via their Wildcat email when they may purchase their Spring 2024 parking permit.

  Parking permits may be purchased by visiting the Student Financial Services Parking Website.
