Campus Parking Map

You can find a map of the campus with designated parking spots by clicking on the link above or the left sidebar of this page. A list of these areas can be found further below.

Campus Owned Parking

Students, faculty, and staff who park on campus are required to register their vehicles with the Security Department and to display their parking permits as directed.

Faculty and Staff Permits

Faculty and staff permits are issued permanently. To obtain a parking permit, please complete the Vehicle Registration form.

Student Permits

Student Parking Permits are $85.00* per semester for all vehicles besides motorcycles. Motorcycles are $50.00* per semester. 

Update 9/11: No more parking permits are left for the Fall semester. If you submit a parking permit application, you will be placed on a wait list and contacted if a permit becomes available. If this happens after the end of Fall semester, you will only be charged for the Spring.

The parking permit application can be found in your My Beloit under the Student Life Home tab. If you need help finding it or have other permit-related questions, please call Security at 608-363-2355 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday-Friday.

Parking permits will be issued on a first-come first-serve basis until they are gone. These quickly run out when Security starts to enforce parking so be sure to apply for your permit as early as possible.

Your permit sticker should be placed on the driver’s side rear window unless tint prevents it from being easily visible. If that’s the case, place it where it can be clearly seen like your front windshield.

Security does not oversell parking permits. This is done to avoid issues with permitted students not being able to find parking.

Summer Break: Please email Security with your first/last name, vehicle information, and an emergency contact number if you plan to stay over Summer Break. While we don’t require permits for students who live on campus during this time, we may still need to contact you about your vehicle in the event of an emergency.

Campus Parking Regulations

• Students who were not awarded a parking permit, or did not apply for a permit, will need to park their vehicles on the city streets. The City of Beloit tickets on the public streets via their parking regulations which are copied at the bottom of this page.
• Students who received parking permits are expected to obey all campus parking regulations and to park only in the designated Student Parking areas.
• Having a parking permit does not reserve anyone a specific parking space near their building.
• Parking is prohibited in fire lanes, where the curbs are painted yellow, or in areas designated as “No Parking”
• Security will ticket vehicles on campus property throughout every semester as needed. Call us if you find an unregistered vehicle consistently parking in a student or reserved space so it can be ticketed.
• If Security tickets a vehicle multiple times and is unable to find the owner, they will attempt to contact the vehicle’s registered owner by utilizing the Beloit Police Department. If they are still unable to find the owner, a local towing company will be contacted to have it removed from the college property at the owner’s expense.

City Parking Regulations

The City of Beloit’s alternate overnight parking ordinance requires parking on the even-numbered side of the street on even-numbered calendar days and parking on the odd side of the street on odd-numbered days. This is always the case unless otherwise posted by official traffic signs. Further details about this ordinance are provided in the student handbook.

What is alternate overnight parking? The City of Beloit has an ordinance for alternate overnight parking. This is year round – not just in the winter. You must park on the even numbered (house numbers) side of the street on even numbered calendar days. This is in effect from 12:00 midnight until 7:00 a.m.

For example: You park your vehicle on Sept. 1 at 7:00 p.m. You should park on the even numbered side of the street as enforcement will occur after midnight of the next days date, which would be Sept. 2. Some months have 31 days – if you park your vehicle on the 31st, you need to park on the odd side of the street because the next day is the 1st, another odd numbered day.

Call the Municipal Court at (608) 364-6613 if you have any further questions.
