Resident Student Parking

CSU has a “Proximity based” parking system, that means the type of hangtag you purchase determines where you park. Campus residents may purchase one of three types of hangtags available.

Hangtags are priced based on the parking access they provide relative to the parking location’s proximity to the core of campus. Campus Residents have three options:

  • White hangtags provide access to non-core, perimeter parking (including access to the South Garage by swiping your Viking Card). This hangtag option is priced to provide the maximum value.
  • Green hangtags provide access to core parking and the South Garage (access is provided through your Viking ID card).
  • Prepaid hangtags for Prospect Garage (PG) will be restricted to:
    • a) students living in a University residence hall and
    • b) a limited number of employees.
  • A PG hangtag is priced the same as the Green hangtag and will be assessed an additional “Limited Access” surcharge of $25.00 per semester. PG hangtags ONLY provide access to the Prospect Garage and South Garage and are not accepted in other parking locations on campus.

What this will mean to you?

  • You can save money, if you are willing to spend up to 10 minutes getting from a parking spot to your campus destination and/or use RTA and the Campus Safety Escort service.
  • If you park on campus 3 or more times per week, a White hangtag offers the best daily value for parking on campus.
  • If you park on campus less frequently, a supply of the “Scratch Off” hangtags will provide you with more flexibility. Scratch Off hangtags must be purchased via your CampusNet account. They are designated White ($6 per day) and Green ($8 per day) and are designed to allow the “once in a while” commuter access to prepaid parking on campus. The purchase of Scratch Off hangtags is limited to 32 per person, per hangtag type, per semester.

Hangtag Information

  • Hangtags should be purchased via your CampusNet account.
  • Visa, MC or Discover are accepted or charges may be posted to your student account.
  • White hangtags represent access to non-core, perimeter parking locations.
  • Green hangtags represent access to core parking locations.
  • A third hangtag option is available for residents who wish to have the option of parking in the Prospect Garage. This option is priced as a Green hangtag with the "Limited Access" surcharge of $25.00 per semester. This hangtag option provides access only to Prospect and South Garage. The PG hangtags do not permit access to any other parking location.

PLEASE NOTE: To reduce long lines at the Parking Office, All Parking hangtag purchases should be made via your CampusNet account!
