Campus Parking

Parking:  Please arrive early to allow ample time for parking and check-in. Parking permits are required for all CSU, Chico parking lots. Orientation participants may park in one of the campus parking structures at an hour rate of $1 per hour. It is recommended participants download the parking app (Passport) on their phones before arrival: https://www.passportparking.com/.  In addition to the Passport Parking App, there is a permit dispenser located on the first floor of each structure.

Orientation participants may park (as space is available) in a space marked as “G” as long as they pay for the zone they park in.

  • Passport signage will specify the zone number. Enter the zone into the Passport App to pay for parking.
  • Parking is limited so you may wish to arrive early to secure a spot.
  • Overnight parking is not permitted.
  • Vehicles without permits or in violation of posted parking regulations may be cited.
