Parking Permits
New Parking Policy for 2025-26
There have been significant changes in parking areas this year, so be sure to look over your new parking map to ensure you are in the right place.
The university parking registration fee has been incorporated into the Student Fee, so students will no longer need to pay an additional out-of-pocket fee to register their vehicle. Students bringing a vehicle to campus must still register their vehicle and obtain a parking permit.
Important information
All Students, Staff, and Faculty must register their vehicles into the new parking system at GFU Online Vehicle Registration
Have the following information on hand when you register
- Vehicle Make, Model, Year, Color, License Plate. If you are a student, know your housing status, resident, commuter, graduate.
- Should you have problems registering you may contact the CPS office at campussafety@georgefox.edu and register or in person at 212 Carlton Way (The Yellow House)
Vehicles must be parked in the lots assigned to their permit designation. That means resident permits may only park in resident lots, and commuter permits may only park in commuter lots.
