Parking Regulations
General Information
- Parking permits are required to park at the CSUSB Palm Desert Campus. Parking is enforced Monday through Sunday, 24 hours a day.
Parking Enforcement
Parking rules and regulations are designed to: provide orderly parking for faculty, staff, students and visitors, protect pedestrians, and ensure emergency access to all buildings. Violation of these regulations can result in parking citations, immobilization or towing of your vehicle. ONLY the Department of Parking Services has the authority to waive or grant exceptions to these regulations. Parking Services will make every effort to ensure that a parking space is available to anyone who purchases a parking permit through enforcement of these regulations. Due to the limited number of parking spaces on campus, enforcement of parking regulations is important even during off-peak periods to ensure availability during peak periods. A concerted effort is made to enforce regulations as uniformly as possible.
