Parking Guidelines

Stevens Police reserve the right to close campus parking facilities for construction projects, emergencies, or special events. It is the responsibility of Stevens community members and their visitors to be aware of and abide by all closures. Closure announcements supersede information found on this page. Stevens does not assume responsibility for the care and protection of a motor vehicle or its contents while the vehicle is parked on campus. Parking is restricted to valid permit holders during stated operating hours.

The following guidelines apply to all Stevens students, employees, visitors, contractors, and vendors, except for emergency vehicles. The guidelines are established to promote safety, facilitate the proper parking, stopping, and standing of vehicles on campus, and to ensure the well-being of students and employees. These guidelines may be amended or added to, from time to time, at the sole discretion of Stevens Institute of Technology.
