Parking Permits

Basic Permit Information

  • You must have a paid Chico State permit to park in campus parking lots
  • All student parking permits are sold online
  • Parking permits are digital so there is nothing to pick up or display
  • Enforcement is done by license plate so make sure you enter your information carefully
  • You can only register one vehicle at a time; if you change vehicles, you must update your vehicle information through your parking permit account - failure to do so could result in receiving a citation
  • No overnight parking allowed, with the exception of on-campus housing and University Village residents with paid permits and in approved parking lots 
  • Parking is extremely limited and the purchase of a permit does not guarantee you a parking location, therefore we encourage alternate forms of transportation

Permit Regulations and Lots

Parking regulations and frequently asked questions are published and enforced by the University Police. Parking of automobiles and motorcycles is authorized in campus-designated lots by permit only.
