As at most large universities, daytime parking on the Urbana-Champaign campus can be difficult, and it may be more convenient to walk to some destinations. Between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m., visitors may park in metered spaces along streets and in metered spaces in designated University parking lots and facilities. All other campus lots are reserved for permit holders only, and your car may be towed if you park in prohibited spaces.

In addition to campus facilities, a municipal lot is located on Green Street between Fifth and Sixth Streets. After 5 p.m. and on weekends and holidays, University lots are open to visitors, subject to posted restrictions.

If you plan to be on campus for several days, you may wish to obtain a free visitor parking permit from the Division of Campus Parking, 1110 West Springfield, Urbana, 333-3530.

Visitors may take advantage of the campus Motorist Assistance Program for help with keys locked in cars, dead batteries, and certain other kinds of minor car problems. Call 244-HELP (4357).
