Summer Parking

With a small student population on campus in the summers, more of campus becomes available for parking. Two options are available.

Summer Surface

A summer permit for surface parking lots is called a summer surface permit because it allows the permit holder to park in multiple surface parking areas:

• • Any residence hall or commuter surface (not garage) space weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
  • Any park-and-pay area for free after 5:30 p.m. 
  • Rec Center parking for free (time limit of two hours)

 Summer Garage

A summer garage permit provides guaranteed covered parking in the Flint Avenue Parking Facility, so vehicles stay shaded and cooler during Lubbock's 100-degree days. It allows the permit holder to park in the following areas:

• • Flint Avenue Parking Garage spaces weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
    • Avoid the employee reserved spaces found on the east half of the first floor and marked with signs stating "Reserved for Permit (#)"
    • Avoid the fourth floor, which is uncovered  
  • Any residence hall or commuter space weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
  • Any park-and-pay area for free after 5:30 p.m.
  • Rec Center parking for free (time limit of two hours)

 

Rules to Remember

Please note that employees are on duty in the summer, so the following rules are in still in effect:

• Avoid parking in area reserved and reserved spaces until 5:30 p.m.
  • Employees maintain normal business hours and operations during the summer months even when class is not in session and are required to park in their lots
• Watch for signs and avoid parking in R19 and service vehicle spaces found within residence hall lots
  • These spaces allow maintenance, housing, and hospitality workers access to their facilities 
• Only employee permits, service vehicles, and authorized visitors may drive past the entry stations and into the campus core weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

 

Costs 

Students can purchase a summer surface or summer garage permit for Summer I, Summer II, or the full summer. (See rates.) Employees who purchase a commuter permit for the fall and spring instead of an area reserved or reserved space permit may also purchase a summer permit if summer parking is needed.
