Visitor & Driver Tips

CSUSB enforces parking regulations at all times. Drivers must purchase and display a valid daily permit or register their vehicle electronically via university pay stations or designated parking mobile apps prior to leaving their vehicle. During major commencement weekends and athletic rivalries, Lot N fills up quickly, so arriving at least 30 to 45 minutes ahead of scheduled event start times is strongly advised. If you are charging an EV, monitor your charging progress remotely to move your vehicle once fully charged, ensuring fair access for fellow drivers and avoiding non-charging dwell penalties.
