Commuter Early Morning | Price Varies
This annual early morning permit is for use by commuting Vandals who need to park on campus between the hours of 2 a.m. and 7:45 a.m. for academic pursuits (study, research, etc.) and/or on-campus employment. Parking before 2 a.m. or after 7:45 a.m. requires the appropriate commuter permit (Gold, Orange, Red or Blue). Commuter O/E permits cannot be combined with Gold, Orange, Red or Blue parking permits to imitate residential parking privileges. No parking between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. is allowed in Gold, Orange, Red or Blue parking lots without an Early Morning permit. Board-appointed U of I employees with a Gold permit may park overnight in Gold parking lots only. Lot Specific Gold permits have no overnight parking privileges. Commuter early morning permits are NOT valid at meters, timed spaces, service/delivery spaces, disability spaces, reserved spaces, campus walkways or an area not designated as a parking space.
During snow and ice conditions, parking is restricted to designated areas within color permitted parking lots; these areas are highlighted on the Snow Conditions Overnight Parking Map. Vehicles with Overnight or Early Morning permits WILL NOT be allowed to park in any manner which inhibits snow/ice removal. Citations will be issued to vehicles parked inappropriately or outside of the designated parking areas shown on the Snow Conditions Overnight Parking Map.
