Parking on Campus
Parking Services
All parking services at RDP are managed by Precise ParkLink (West).
Student Parking
Students Living in Residence
Students who have a room in Residence will be emailed a link to purchase a parking permit. Each link is specific to the parking lot closest to a student's assigned room (if possible).
Parking is available on a first-come first-served basis.
Credit Program Students
As identified in the Student Parking Map, all parking for credit program students is in unreserved/scramble Parking Lots 1, 2, 3, 19, 20, 26
Credit Student Parking Rates
Lots 1, 2, 3, 19, 20, 26: $40 monthly
One permit allows parking in any credit student parking lot.
Tips
- Each permit purchase has a $2.50 convenience fee charged at the time of purchase, so buying parking for a term is cheaper overall than purchasing parking every month.
- Students can list more than one license plate when signing up for parking. However, they must inform Precise ParkLink of the license plate of their vehicle that is currently on campus through Honk Mobile or the Honk Mobile App.
