Parking at PLU is tight

Students wishing to drive to campus and park in university lots must purchase a parking decal. Due to space limitations, only one decal may be issued to each student.

Parking in the Tingelstad Gated Lot on lower campus is open to all students for an additional fee.  Residents of South Hall may also purchase a designated space in the hall's lot for the year for an additional fee.  These decals do not allow the registered owner to park in any other lots. 

2012 - 2013 current rates:

General student decal is $40, Tingelstad Gated decal is $175 for a whole year, South Hall decal is $115 for a whole year.

Instead of bringing a car to campus, consider bringing your bike and using one of the new Zipcars that will be located on campus in September. More information on Zipcars is available from Human Resources.  Remember- each residence hall has a bike room to store your bike and there are bike racks located throughout campus. A sturdy bike lock is a must! Be sure to read all of the information on parking and tickets to save yourself from future headaches.

Register Your Vehicle

Registration begins at 8am on the date listed.
Register for your decal                June 18, 2012       

Decals expire on 8/31 of the latest year displayed on the decal.  Please do not discard your decal until you receive your next one. 

MORKEN DECAL INFORMATION:  The Morken Decal is available to Employee and Commuter Students only. This decal must be used by the individual that it has been issued to and not shared with anyone else. It is to be used on the secondary car only. You maynot put the Morken decal on the same car with your primary decal. If you use the Morken decal on your secodnary car, the Morken lot is the only lot that vehicle is allowed to park in. Be sure to check for signage so that you are parked in the appropriate section of the Morken lot.

Where to Park?

-ALL YEAR LONG-  

All parking lots are marked with a sign stating the name of the lot. Most indicate who may park in the lot and where. Because parking is limited, parking regulations are strictly enforced.

Parking on county roads

Parking is available on many of the county streets surrounding the campus and is subject to Pierce County parking regulations. Drivers are responsible for knowing these regulations. A list of common violations can be found in the tickets section . If you park in the neighborhood surrounding PLU, please keep safety in mind and be considerate of those living in these neighborhoods.
