Parking Options

All students and staff who park on campus must purchase a parking decal at the Parking Division Office. To do so, you need to present a valid driver’s license, a valid vehicle registration, and a University ID card.

Students and staff who require accessible parking need only to display a valid, state-issued Disability Parking Placard or license plate along with a paid SIUC parking decal. Permanent and temporary state placards can be obtained by having a physician complete a “Persons with Disabilities Certification for Parking Placard” form and mailing it to the Secretary of State’s Office.  For more information, visit their website at www.cyberdriveillinois.com/services/persons_with_disabilities/disabilities.html.

Students may also have their physical condition assessed by a Student Health Programs (SHP) physician. Even if students have a note from their own physicians, they still need to contact SHP for an appointment. Based on this evaluation, SHP may issue either a Temporary Blue parking permit or a completed Illinois DMV Disabilities Certification form.  More information about Parking may be found at www.dps.siu.edu/.
