Carpool Parking

Take advantage of our six Carpool Parking stalls on the Kirkland Campus, and enjoy preferred parking in the Barton, Argue HSC, and Davis Building parking lots! To apply, complete the Carpool Parking Application and submit it to the Human Resources Office.  If approved, you’ll be issued a Carpool Parking pass from the Campus Security Office.

NU Parking Permits are a one-piece, color-coded sticker that should be applied to the rear window of your vehicle.  Motorcycle owners should place the parking permit vertically on the front right fork so that the number can be read easily.  Expiration dates are printed on the permit.
