  • Guest Parking
    There are several guest lots located around campus to ensure you have parking when visiting campus. All vehicles that park on the Auburn University campus Monday – Friday from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, must display a valid Auburn University parking permit. In order to parking in these areas, you must obtain an appropriate parking pass form the Parking Services office, located at 330 Lem Morison Drive. For your convenience, a drive-thru window is located on the ground level of the Parking Services office. If you intend to park in the guest lot on the fourth floor of the Stadium Parking Deck, an attendant will give you a pass at the booth located at the base of the fourth floor ramp. If you have a handicap placard or license plate, an Auburn University parking permit is still required to park on the campus. Please note that parking rules and regulations change for special events on campus. There are signs at each of the guest lots that note these restrictions. If you have further questions on where to park when visiting campus, please call the Parking Services Office at (334) 844-4143. Guest parking is available on the fourth level of the Stadium Deck located on Heisman Drive, in the Lowder Lot off of War Eagle Way, in the College Street Lot at the corner of Samford Avenue and College Street, on the first level of the Library Deck, on the second level of the South Quad Deck and in the circle in front of Green Hall at the College of Veterinary Science. Please note that the Stadium Parking Deck has the most designated guest parking spaces. The other locations only have a few spots, and if they are full, you will have to move to a different designated guest parking area. Click here to view a Guest Parking map.
