Temporary Parking Passes

Temporary parking passes are required and available to the internal campus community (students, faculty, staff, affiliate groups, etc.) and overnight visitors. To learn more about the different temporary parking passes explore the sections below.

Students that bring an unregistered vehicle to campus may receive a temporary hangtag for one week – but there is no long-term, temporary parking for unregistered vehicles or those on the wait list for a permit. Be sure to register your vehicle before you bring it to campus.

To obtain a temporary parking pass, you will need to provide your name, address, phone number as well as your vehicle information (make, model, color, license plate year, and number). Temporary parking passes can be purchased here:

Students that bring an unregistered vehicle to campus may receive a temporary hangtag for one week—but there is no long-term, temporary parking for unregistered vehicles or those on the wait list for a permit. Be sure to register your vehicle before you bring it to campus. 

Temporary parking passes are required whenever a registered student, faculty member, staff member, or member of an affiliated group with office space on campus will be parking an unregistered vehicle on University property. Passes may be obtained at the Office of Parking Services (4702 Sunset Drive, Suite 500, Indianapolis, IN 46208) during posted hours or from the University Police Department communications office, 525 W. Hampton Drive, seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

Each person is offered five free days with a temporary hangtag in an academic year. Temporary passes may be issued for up to three additional weeks provided that 1) the person has a primary vehicle registered with a current year permit and 2) the person only has one vehicle on campus during that time period. The cost for this is $10 per week. No other division or college is permitted to issue a temporary parking pass without approval from the chief of police.

Temporary passes for ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) parking and Special Needs-ADA designated spaces are reserved for persons with vehicles displaying the correct authorization to park there. These are designated tow-away zones for violators. This restriction is enforced 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A violation of this policy could result in a ticket being issued as well.

Any faculty, staff, student, or University affiliate wishing to park in University-controlled ADA parking must have their vehicle registered with the Department of Public Safety Office of Parking Services. A properly designated permit must be affixed to the vehicle as required by the Vehicle Registration and Parking Policy. In addition to having a parking permit, the vehicle must display either State issued ADA parking credentials or a Temporary University issued ADA Hangtag. To obtain a University-issued ADA permit, the person who registered the vehicle must present written documentation showing the operator is entitled to be issued an ADA permit. Displaying a state ADA parking placard alone does not permit parking in a University-controlled ADA parking space.

A vehicle displaying a University ADA parking hangtag shall be parked in an ADA parking space. If there are no ADA parking spaces available, the permit will allow the driver to park in any space in lots designated as A, B, or C. There is no cost for the permit.
