Visitor Parking at Xavier University

Welcome to Xavier University!

We’re glad to have you on campus. Whether you're a guest, employee, or student, following our parking policies is important to ensure a smooth experience for everyone.

How to Obtain a Visitor Parking Permit

All visitors are required to register their vehicle and obtain a parking permit to park on campus. Follow these simple steps to get started:

  1. Visit Our Visitor Permit Portal: Go to xavier.edu/visitorpermit or scan the QR Code in the lots/parking stalls upon arrival.
  2. Choose Your Permit Type:
    • Half-Day Permit (0-5 hours): $5
    • Full-Day Permit (Over 5 hours): $10
  3. Register Your Vehicle: Enter your vehicle information and personal details, including your cell phone number. Cell phone authentication is required for safety purposes.
    • Important: Ensure the code you enter is case-sensitive.
    • Fields without an asterisk (*) are optional and do not need to be completed.
  4. Your License Plate is Your Permit: Once you’ve registered, there’s nothing to print or display. Your license plate serves as your parking permit, and our system will recognize it when you park in designated visitor spaces.
  5. Park in Designated Areas: Visitors must park in marked visitor parking stalls on campus.
