Request Special Event Parking

Hosting an event on UND's campus?

Work with Parking Services to create parking arrangements that fit your needs!

Event Parking Overview

Departments and guests can arrange the use of a parking lot on the UND Campus for an event they are hosting. To begin the process, please review the information below and complete the either the Event Parking Request Form or Passport Validation Code Request Form at least two weeks before the event start date.

Once submitted, the Parking Services Event Coordinator will contact you to review your needs and confirm arrangements.

Before You Submit a Request

  • Review the campus map to identify the parking lot(s) that you would like your guests to use.
  • Refer to the Event Size and Pricing on this page to determine which option will fit the needs of your event better.
  • Ensure that accurate and appropriate funding information is available for billing.

When a Request Form is Not Required

You do not need to complete the Event Parking Request Form if one or more of the following applies to the event:

  • All event guests are UND students, faculty, or staff
  • Guests are instructed to use pay-to-park options
  • Guests will be arriving in State or Federal government issued vehicles.

Event Size and Pricing

For events where you expect fewer than 10 vehicles arriving on campus, we recommend using Passport Validation codes instead of reserving spaces within a parking on lot on campus. University departments may provide guest a validation code to utilize the passport parking zones at no cost to the guest.

Departments are responsible for maintaining a record log, record logs are retained by the department and subject to audit.

Code Options

The pricing of the validation codes follows the standard Passport Parking rate on campus.

Duration Cost per Code
90 minutes $2.10
All Day $7.10

Validation Code Rules

  • Valid only in designated Passport Parking Zones
  • Valid only for the selected duration only
  • Sessions using the code cannot be extended 

Redeeming Codes

Once the code has been generated, guests must follow these steps to redeem the code:

  1. Download the Passport Parking App on their phone or go to passportparking.com
  2. If they don't already have an account, they will need to create an account with Passport
  3. Once in the app, they will need to start a new session with the zone that they are parking in and enter their license plate of the vehicle parking on campus
  4. Select how much time they are parking for
  5. During the checkout screen there will be an area to enter a validation code. Guests will need to enter the code at this point. Codes can not be added once the session starts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Making event parking arrangements allow for guests of UND to park on campus for events taking place during business hours

Costs paid for event parking contribute to suspension of enforcement within an area, or cover labor and material costs for a service.

Unfortunately, no. We do offer the ability for departments to purchase Passport Validation Codes, which operate as a ‘coupon code’ through the Passport app. These codes can be distributed to event guests to cover their parking cost.

Please fill out the Event Parking Request Form

Please have your event submitted no later than 2 weeks prior to your event date. 

Requests are always welcomed, but if you do not require signage or any of our other services, there is no need to submit a request.

Once your request is submitted, our event coordinator will reach out to you for discussion on a parking location that fits your needs.
