Policies Governing Traffic and Parking
oyola University is located in the “uptown/university section.” The campus at times experiences serious problems in the movement of traffic and parking. A set of detailed traffic/parking regulations has been established in an attempt to address parking concerns that affect every member of the university community. The official university traffic/parking regulations are detailed online and in a brochure that is available in the parking services/University ID office located in University Police, in Biever Hall.
Vehicle access to the Loyola University campus is not restricted. However, parking permits are required 24 hours a day every day of the year for campus parking privileges. Visitors and other non-permit holders may park in a designated visitor space, on a cash basis, or a metered space on campus. Designated 45-minute visitor spaces are located in the Marquette horseshoe lot. However, these visitor spaces are not to be used by Loyola students, faculty, or staff at any time.
Loyola Department of University Police Officers who observe violations of university traffic/parking regulations have the responsibility to issue traffic and parking citations to individuals and/or vehicles. Regulations are enforced 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
All Loyola students, and a limited number of resident first-year students, are eligible to purchase a parking permit. To purchase a parking permit, a student must provide a valid, state issued, vehicle registration form, and proof of insurance. Parking permits are not transferable to another person. The following classes of permits have been established for students:
|
|
2-semester Price | 1-semester Price |
| Resident | $400 | $210 |
| Commuter | $340 | $180 |
| Evening | $150 | $85 |
| MW or TR Evening | n/a | $48 |
Permits are sold in the parking services/University ID office. All students purchasing a permit are responsible for obtaining the complete list of traffic/parking regulations when they purchase their permit. In addition, anyone parking on campus, even those who do not purchase a parking permit, are responsible for abiding by the traffic/parking regulations. Therefore, students who park on campus on a cash basis should also obtain a complete list of the traffic/parking regulations.
Space limitations do not permit the assigning of spaces for all vehicles. A parking permit is not permission to park in an unauthorized zone or illegally if no parking space is available in the assigned zones.
Loyola University traffic regulations may not be orally modified by anyone. During the summer months, the university reserves the right to modify parking policies regarding parking locations.
