Student Parking
Update: **The McKimmon Center parking lot requires an NC State parking permit at all times. Any student or staff permit is valid. No overnight parking is allowed. Event attendees will receive parking instruction directly from the event host.**
Please Note: Some or all instructional formats for all or part of the 2020-21 academic year may change due to the public health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As has always been the case, tuition and fees are charged at the beginning of the semester and will remain in place regardless of any changes in an instructional format. Tuition and fees will not be refunded in the event that instructional format changes for any part of the 2020-21 academic year.
Permits returned prior to 5 p.m. on August 7, 2020, are eligible for a full refund. Permits return requests may be submitted here.
