Parking Information

Visitors

Please park in the Visitor Parking Lot located just north of the Student Union Building. This parking lot is accessed off of Monterey Avenue, and is a 2-hour Visitor Only Lot.

Parking Permits

All decals will be valid from August 1 to July 31 annually.

Lots will be designated as:

  • C – Commuter Lots (students that do not reside in a residence hall)
  • R – Students residing in any residential hall
  • E – Employee (faculty and staff)

All Parking Permit Registrations will require vehicle registration and Adams State identification number.

Students

  • Adams State will offer a decal at no out-of-pocket cost to all students taking 6 or more credit hours and who register their vehicle with the Adams State University Police Department. Those students will be issued one annual decal for Residential or Commuter lots. Since the decal is at no cost, and due to limited parking space, Residential students may not purchase additional decals.
  • Any students taking less than 6 credit hours will be charged full decal price ($50 annually).
  • Student Commuters and students who live in Adams State Family Housing may purchase one additional decal for $15.00.

Employees

  • Employees may purchase an annual decal for $50 to park in designated Employee lots. Employees may purchase one additional decal at $25. Permits for any vehicle beyond the first two will be subject to full decal price. Decals will not expire, therefore, employees will be billed each fiscal year for decals. If decal is not paid tickets will be issued.
  • Reserved spots: Adams State will not offer reserved/personal parking spaces as it has in the past. Employees needing a reserved spot must submit a letter of justification supporting how their daily duties include leaving campus (not including lunch) multiple times a day for work related activities. All letters of justification must be submitted to the President by August 15. Reserved spaces, upon approval, will cost $125.
  • Hang tags are available to Employees only.

All vehicles parked on the property of Adams State University must be registered with the Adams State University Police Department.
