Yes, there is a nominal student parking permit fee of $50 per semester. This fee directly supports shuttle services and parking improvements across campus.

Parking permits for residential students will be designated by east or west campus based on student housing assignments. This helps reduce traffic flow across campus and improves space availability. See a map of designated parking lots here. 

Commuter students will park on east campus, specifically parking lots at 51 Fulton Street, Beck Place, and Upper West Cedar. These locations are served by the campus shuttle for easy access and are only a 5-10 minute walk to academic buildings.

Beginning on August 11, 2025, students can apply for a parking permit on the University’s parking website found here.

The shuttle system launches at 7 a.m. on August 25, on the first day of classes this fall semester.

Two routes will operate Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.: 

• Academic Express – a six-minute loop that serves main academic buildings and connects West and East campus for quick, convenient access to classes. 
• Marist Loop – a 16-minute loop that covers residential areas and commuter lots on the perimeter of campus as well as main academic buildings. 

Yes! Shuttle locations will be available in real-time through the MaristSafe app, so you’ll always know when your next ride is arriving.

Yes. Commuters and residential students may park in faculty/staff lots after 4:30 p.m. (Monday through Friday) and on weekends (excluding Byrne House and Kieran Gate House lots). Vehicles must be moved out of faculty/staff lots by 8 a.m. on weekdays and Sundays.

Yes. Marist provides designated accessible parking spaces in all lots across the campus. Only vehicles exhibiting official state-issued handicap plates or official local government-issued handicap permits will be permitted to park in designated handicap parking spaces.

No. The Penalties for Violation of Vehicle Use and Parking Regulations are published here and the fines are not changing.
