Parking Lots

Posted signs, bumper blocks, and other markings designate the various parking areas on campus.  Parking areas may be restricted by classification, time or purpose.  These areas shall be considered no parking zones to those individuals who do not fall within the restriction of the classification. 

Housing Lots

Residents of housing shall abide by the parking regulations contained in the housing agreement, in addition to the requirements of this rule. A valid FIU decal and Housing Sticker is required to park in housing lots.

No person, other than a current housing resident whose vehicle is left in a housing lot, shall leave a vehicle overnight on University property without notifying the Public Safety Department.  Vehicles that are inoperable shall be reported immediately to the Public Safety Department.  The University does not assume any responsibility for motor vehicles or their contents while they are parked on campus. Vehicles registered to current housing residents may be left in housing lots during session breaks but in no event for more than three weeks, except with permission from University Housing.

Visitor Parking

Metered parking is for visitors and is enforced daily, including weekends and holidays.  If a meter is malfunctioning, parking in that space is prohibited.  A current decal, hang-tag or permit does not entitle the driver to park in a metered parking space without paying the appropriate fee. Metered parking is available throughout the University at a cost of 25 cents per 15 minutes except in PC Loading which are 50 cents per 15 minutes.  Visitors can also park at the multi-space meters for $1.00 per hour with a maximum of $8.00 per day.  University departments hosting an event can purchase garage visitor permits in advance.

Disabled Parking

Parking areas designated as disabled are enforced at all times and a current, state issued disabled placard/hang-tag or license plate must be visible and properly displayed.  Placard registration, placard, and state issued identification card must be presented to the Parking Office to obtain a Disabled FIU Sticker. Employees and students of the University must display a decal in addition to the disabled placard/hang-tag or license plate.   

There are designated disable spaces for "modified vehicles." In order to use these spaces, you must have a modified vehicle registration and placard.
