## Visitor Parking At The George S. Romney Building

## Visitor Parking At The George S. Romney Building

Parking at BYU-Idaho can be a little challenging. Parking permits are required on campus from 7:00 am - 4:00 pm. There are several lots with designated visitor parking spaces; these do not require a permit. The closest one is located next to the Romney building. Other visitor parking spaces can be found on the campus map website. 
 
We encourage you to use the visitor spaces as they don't require any extra work and are readily available. However, if you have several vehicles coming before 4:00 pm and are concerned about finding a space, you may apply for a free guest visitor pass:

As a warning, parking on city streets surrounding BYU-Idaho all require a city parking permit until 5:00 pm. The above visitor parking pass is only good for parking lots on the BYU-Idaho campus.
