General Campus Visitors
Visitors are always welcome on campus, and their cooperation in observing the parking regulations is appreciated. Visitors can park in any visitor lot. There are several visitor parking locations throughout campus and are highlighted in pink on our campus map. Visitors are subject to all parking regulations and all fees incurred.

Within the app, users will be able to see on a map the lots or areas where metered parking is offered on campus. There will be signs in those areas denoting the spaces designated for metered parking. If you plan on being on campus for more than 4 hours you can obtain a daily visitor pass online here. Visitors with a valid ADA placard may park in any available ADA space on campus when their vehicle is registered using the AMP Park app or daily visitor pass.
Visitors can park in all visitor lots ONLY. Parking anywhere else on campus may result in ticketing/towing.

If you have a disability placard, please contact our office to add it to your guest pass. With a
