Campus Safety

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 or employee.

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.  Click here to see the current rates.

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.

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.
