Use of Parking Garages

There are two access controlled parking garages located on the Evanston campus. North Garage is located at 2311 North Campus Drive and South Garage, connected to the Segal Visitors Center, is located at 1841 Sheridan Road. Both garages are accessible to 宅男福利导航 students, faculty, staff, and visitors to campus. The list below attempts to explain commonly raised questions regarding the parking garages. If you need additional information please do not hesitate to contact Parking Services by phone, 847-491-3319, or email, parking@northwestern.edu.

Is there a fee to park in the parking garages?

Current annual and academic year 宅男福利导航 University parking permit holders may park in the garage as part of the privileges associated with their permit. The valid 宅男福利导航 University Wildcard belonging to the permit holder is used to activate the gate arms at both the entrance and exit of the garage.

Visitors and all other individuals who do not possess a current 宅男福利导航 University parking permit are assessed a $9.00 daily fee when parking in the garage. A ticket is issued to parkers at the entrance to the garage. Payment can be made either at the kiosks located on the ground level of the garage or at the exit lane. A paid ticket is required to exit.

Persons intentionally circumventing the gate arms to avoid payment or for any other reason are subject to a citation. Any Wildcard or parking access card used to allow a person other than the registered cardholder to enter or exit a parking garage is subject to a citation to both the cardholder and the person using the card.

I will be visiting the Admissions Office. Do I have to pay to park?

Visitors to the Office of Admissions may park in the Segal Visitor’s Center garage, also known as the South Garage. Please take a ticket upon entry and provide it to the Admissions counselor you meet with. The Admissions Office may provide you with a validation ticket for reduced rate parking.

I utilize the Henry Crown Sports Pavilion but do not have a 宅男福利导航 University Wildcard. Do I have to pay the parking fee each time I visit and park in the garage?

Is parking in the garage free after 4 p.m. and on weekends?

Yes. Parking is free in the garage weekdays after 4:00 p.m. and all day on Saturday and Sunday. Pull a ticket at the entrance of the garage and insert the same ticket at the exit.

I lost my parking ticket. What do I do?

How do I replace my Wildcard?

Can I park a motorcycle in the garage?

Unfortunately the access control equipment does not recognize motorcycles. Only vehicles with at least four wheels can be detected and will trigger the gate arms to raise. Motorcycles displaying valid parking permits can park in any surface lot.
