The metered lots are enforced 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and the "A," "C" and "Z" lots are enforced 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
You are free to park in these areas after enforcement hours (from 4 p.m. on) and on the weekend at no charge. Please note that visitors cannot park in student lots, which are enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The university's visitor parking services can help with maps and permits.
Visitor parking is available across the street in the parking structure at Panama Street and Via Ortega for a fee and can be paid with a credit card or cash.
