Student Parking
For some, bringing a vehicle is a necessity. If you choose to bring a vehicle to campus be aware of the costs and processes to secure parking.
A discounted "Flex Parking Lease" is available to students enrolled in six or more weekday credits per semester. Students may purchase a parking card designated for UMR students. UMR students will be billed directly from Lanier Parking (not the University). Proof of enrollment will be required to purchase and activate the card; cards may be deactivated at the student’s request. Semester payment will be made directly to Lanier Parking at the time of purchase.
To purchase your parking card please visit the Lanier Parking Office in the Center Street Ramp. Bring these items:
-
An enrollment verification form showing the number of credits you are taking (see instructions below to access form);
-
Your Student ID;
-
Check, cash, or credit card to pay for parking. The parking fee is $115 a month ($460 per semester) plus $20 dollars for the pass.
-
Your license number.
