Parking
Registration
All new, transfer, and returning residents of Daniell Heights should register their vehicles online. A parking permit will be issued for each vehicle. Residents who do not register online should contact Transportation Services upon arrival to arrange for a permit. Properly registered vehicles have a lot assignment which tells you where to park. You must obtain a permit for your vehicle within forty-eight hours of its arrival on campus. Family members and cotenants with vehicles will also need to obtain parking permits.
You should park in your assigned block only. Violators will be ticketed and/or towed. Parking is not permitted on the North side of Woodmar Drive, on the lawns, or on the sidewalks at any time. Improperly or illegally parked vehicles may be ticketed, towed, and/or impounded at the owner’s expense.
The staff lots prohibit the parking of resident vehicles between 2:00AM and 5:00PM seven days per week. Resident parking lots are restricted to assigned parking only, at all times, seven days per week. All residents with motor vehicles must become familiar with all traffic regulations and parking requirements. For more information about parking and for a list of parking regulations, please see Transportation Services. To view campus parking areas, please see the interactive campus map located at http://www.mtu.edu/maps/.
