Parking

At Grand Canyon University (GCU), we strive to provide ample parking on and around our main campus in Phoenix so that all students have access to our facilities. The following parking information pertains to GCU's main campus at 3300 W. Camelback Road. If you are visiting another GCU location, obey the parking signage on our property. Students, staff or faculty members may receive citations or be towed at the property owner's discretion if they are in violation of posted rules.
