Parking Permits

There are two types of parking decals/permits available to residential students.  Main campus residential students can receive an Orange parking decal and Rolling Hills residential students can receive a Yellow parking decal.

For more information on Parking Permits, please view Public Safety's NSU Parking Permits page.

Main Campus Residential Parking (Orange)

• Students living in Goodwin, Commons, Founders, Farquhar, Vettel, and Cultural Living Center can receive an Orange parking decal
• Students with an Orange parking decal may typically only park in the residential lot surrounding the main campus residence halls
• Students with an Orange parking decal may not park in the Rolling Hills residential lot
• At no time should students with an Orange parking decal be parked in any of the other gated parking lots or garages on campus
• For information on Overflow Residential Parking, please see below

Rolling Hills Residential Parking (Yellow)

• Students living in Rolling Hills can receive a Yellow parking decal
• During the day, students with a Yellow parking decal may typically only park in the residential lots adjacent to the Rolling Hills Apartments
• Students with a Yellow parking decal may not park in the main campus residential lot
• Between 5:00pm and 7:00am on Weekdays, students with a Yellow parking decal may park in designated lots on main campus

Overflow Residential Parking

In some instances, if the Office of Residential Life and Housing may determine that there is the potential that more students will bring their cars than there are spaces in the main campus residential lot.  In those instances, our office will work closely with Public Safety to find additional parking lots on campus for main campus residential students to park.  When this information is determined, it is distributed to residential students via their official NSU email addresses.

Residential Visitor Parking

There is no overnight visitor parking for the main campus residence halls.  Even during the weekend, cars parked in the residence hall lot without the designated parking decal will be subject to a ticket and possible fine.  For more information on visitor parking, please visit Public Safety's NSU Visitor Parking page.  You may also check out this interactive map showing the visitor parking lots on campus.

Construction Update

We are excited to share that construction of the new undergraduate apartment-style residence hall to be built adjacent to Leo Goodwin Residence Hall and the new residential parking garage has begun to be completed in time for the start of the 2019-2020 academic year.

The new garage is being built in the parking area south of CLC and the Commons. The parking garage will provide 1300 parking spaces to the residential community. Additionally, the garage will have electric vehicle charging stations and car counting directional systems to ease parking.

Please note the following community changes as a result of the construction process:

Parking

• As of Monday, August 13, 2018 all residents residing in Rolling Hills Apartments are able to park on the top floor of the Alvin Sherman Library, Research and Information Technology Center (ASLRITC) Garage before 5 pm. After 5 pm, in addition to the ASLRITC garage, Rolling Hills residents are allowed to park in designated lots around campus.

Construction
