ParkMobile FAQ

The ParkMobile App is a mobile payment option for Short-Term, Daily and Event Parking purchases on our campus.

ParkMobile Zone Parking

ParkMobile is a pay-by-phone parking application. Individuals can use ParkMobile to purchase Short-Term, Daily or Event Parking.

For Short-Term parking purchases, users can monitor the time remaining on their parking session and even add time to the purchase remotely via their mobile device.

Simply on your smartphone, create an account, and add your vehicle information including your license plate number. You can add up to 5 license plate numbers per account. To finish, enter in a form of payment.

Once registered, pick a zone off the map within the app or reference the zone number listed on the sign located in your parking area (for Short-Term purchases, choose an amount of time). Confirm and a countdown timer will appear tracking the time remaining for your purchase. You may extend your Short-Term parking purchase time remotely up to the maximum time allotted for that location. For additional questions, please visit the .

ParkMobile allows the individual to skip the pay station and purchase parking via their smartphone. ParkMobile also provides the ability to monitor how much time remains on your Short-Term parking purchase and the convenience of adding more time remotely via your mobile device.
