Non-Event Parking Accommodations

Weekdays

To support business and academic needs during the week, eligible Purdue parking permit holders will be able to remain in one of the garages listed above with no event parking pass required, if parked prior to the effective time.

Individuals who do not have an event parking pass must vacate the parking lots by the required times or will be subject to ticketing and/or towing. 

Weekends

For weekend events, posted parking restrictions must be followed at all designated garage and lot locations. Individuals without an event parking pass must vacate prior to the effective time or will be subject to ticketing and/or towing at the owner's expense.

Alternative Parking

Once Parking Operations staff are present at these locations, individuals will either need to pay for event parking rates or seek alternative, free parking for non-event use in one of the following lots:

• On Russell Street between Fifth and Sixth Streets
• On Waldron Street between Fifth and Sixth Streets
• South of Duhme Residence Hall   

Event Parking

Event attendees are encouraged to purchase a parking pass in advance through ParkMobile to guarantee a space in one of these locations near Elliott Hall of Music. Attendees can park in any available space within the selected location, except those signed as Reserved. All ADA spaces require a BMV-issued handicap placard or license plate to be displayed, in addition to having a paid event parking pass. 

If parking passes for any of these locations have not sold out by the day of the event, they can be purchased at the time of arrival through ParkMobile. Signage with a QR code will be posted for attendees to scan and purchase a parking pass with no ParkMobile account or app required. Cash will not be accepted onsite or in advance for parking passes.

Event parking passes cost $10 for all locations, plus a $1.50 fee assessed by ParkMobile. A full list of scheduled Convocations events is available online. Only those taking place in Elliott Hall of Music require paid parking passes, which can be purchased now for all fall and spring semester events.
