Student Parking
Welcome Students!
We offer different parking passes depending on where you're living this semester. Are you living on-campus (resident), in UM-owned apartments, or are you commuting from off-campus?
On-campus housing includes Craig, Elrod, Knowles, Pantzer, Turner, Miller, Aber, Jesse, and Duniway. Lewis & Clark Villages and the University Villages are both university apartment complexes.
(Note that ROAM and Sawyer are not owned by UM and therefore are not part of on-campus housing. Please see our Commuter Permits for your options.)
