Parking at Orientation
Note: Please park in Parking 3 for New Student Orientation.
Check-in will begin promptly at 8 a.m. in the Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union.
We will not take walk-ins. All participants must be registered to attend.
Parking is included in your orientation reservation, so no additional payment or permits are required to park inside of the designated parking structure. Parking for orientation will be inside Parking 3 only (do not park outside the structure). Parking information will be included in your orientation confirmation email. Please park in student spaces or green faculty/staff spaces only.

First-Year On-Campus Resident Parking Policy
San Diego State University considers the on-campus living experience an integral and necessary part of a student's total education. As a community, we also believe in reducing our carbon footprint and supporting overall sustainability in alignment with the university's climate action goals.
In support of sustainability initiatives, incoming first-year students who live on campus will not be permitted to bring a car the first year of study at SDSU. For more information, refer to the First-Year On-Campus Resident Parking Policy on the Parking & Transportation website.
Parking During the Semester
Student parking at SDSU is $174 each semester for a car or truck. For a motorcycle or moped, the fee is $37 each semester. Residence hall students with a car need to purchase the day and night use permit for $276. Fees are subject to change.
Purchase parking permits in advance online.
Please follow the directions, first-time users must retrieve their passwords before logging in. There is no grace period, so if you must park on campus prior to purchasing your permit online, purchase a temporary pay station permit, or utilize PayByPhone for that time.
For more information, please visit the Parking and Transportation website.
