Visitor Parking

If you expect to have visitors at GCU, they should use the entrance at 33rd Avenue and obtain a temporary parking permit from the Public Safety Officer by showing their valid driver's license. The permit should be prominently displayed on the driver's side dashboard. Visitors will be directed to guest spaces. Cars that are parked in spaces that are not reserved for visitors will receive a parking citation.

Vehicles that do not display a current permit or pass may be cited. Vehicles violating time restrictions are subject to penalties, ranging from a citation up to and including towing and impoundment.


Parking Permit Zones

Find the parking information you need while on campus:

  • In the absence of a sign at the entrance to a lot or garage, refer to the parking map to determine parking regulations for that lot. Any modifications to a lot during the academic year will be posted on signs at the entrance to the lot, and the change will be effective immediately.

Parking Map

  • Gate security allows all current GCU decals onto campus. It is up to you to park in your designated lot.

 

  • If a parking sign conflicts with the parking map or information on the GCU website, the sign will always supersede.
  • All vehicles must be parked within the marked boundaries of one parking space or stall.
  • Vehicles in garages or in angled parking on one-way streets must be parked head-in.
  • Any area not specifically designated for parking is considered a no-parking zone; vehicles in that area may be cited.
