Resident Overnight Parking

The Bothell Campus has an available overnight parking permit option for students living in campus resident housing. This campus overnight parking permit ensures that students in resident housing have a predictable convenient overnight campus parking option as well as the ability to park on campus while attending classes. An overnight parking permit allows eligible students to park in any regular parking lot between 7:00am and 11:00pm daily. Please note that overnight parking (11:01pm until 6:59am) is only permitted in the West parking garage. Resident permits are available for purchase on the campus parking portal. The resident quarterly permit is $270, and the resident academic annual permit (good for all three quarters) is $810. All campus parking permits are “virtual permits” which means that your parking credentials are associated with your vehicle’s license plate. Resident parking permits are only allowed to have one vehicle associated with their account at any given time. It is therefore important to ensure that your vehicle information is entered correctly on your campus parking account.   

Add additional vehicles to a permit

All permits (except for resident parking permits) are allowed to associate up to 4 vehicles with a parking permit. Please note only one vehicle may be parked on campus per day. To add additional vehicles to your parking permit, please follow the steps outlined in the document below:
