The vehicle registration process can be completed at the D-Shoppe in the Olmsted Center, the University Bookstore at 3003 Forest Avenue, or in the Cashier's Office in Old Main during normal business hours for those facilities. Payment of the parking fee is due at the time of registration. The properly displayed sticker authorizes parking of the vehicle in any Drake-owned parking lot on a space available basis. All students and members of the faculty and staff are eligible to park in all parking areas owned and maintained by the University, with the exception of the Olmsted Parking Lot, upon proper registration of their vehicles and proper display of a Drake registration sticker or hang tag. The Olmsted Lot will continue to provide convenient parking readily accessible to several campus buildings, including the library, at nominal charges for faculty, staff, students, and visitors.
Registrations are valid for a one-year period beginning the first day of fall classes.
All vehicles must be registered even for occasional use of Drake facilities. Vehicles larger than a pick-up or van will not be registered to park in Drake facilities. Motorcycles and mopeds will be registered. Owners should check with Security regarding placement of parking permit. All motorized vehicles must be registered by the beginning of the fall term.
