Parking Vouchers for the St. Paul Campus

After you have parked, make note of your license plate number and proceed to the pay station. At the pay station, enter your license plate number and enter the length of time you plan to park. When asked if you have a coupon, press 1 for "yes" and enter the coupon code provided. If you plan to stay longer than the amount of time allotted by your coupon code, you will need to pay the balance by credit card.
Parking Vouchers for the Minneapolis Campus
Take a ticket upon entering the 11th and Harmon Parking Ramp. When you exit the ramp, first insert your ticket, then use the voucher provided by your campus host to pay for your parking.
