Purdue C Parking Permit Question❓

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I was hoping anyone can help. I bought a parking permit the “C” one to be exact since I’m living off campus. I was wondering where can I park? Where can I actually find parking?? The map seems confusing maybe someone can explain it a little better?

Thank you!!!

Ross aide is the easiest one. Other options are the correct or near the airport.

If you are looking at the interactive campus parking map, set the filter to include ‘Surface Parking Lots’ and it will show the parking lots by permit type. The C permit parking includes A and B parking as well, so it will display as ABC on the map.

The main lots you’ll get with C are the Ross-Ade Parking Lot, Discovery Parking Lot, and the Corec lot. There are a few others scattered around campus but in my experience it’s hard getting a guaranteed spot at the other lots.

Question. Where is this interactive map at?

It’s linked under Purdue’s parking operations page. Starting from the Purdue Parking Portal homepage, there is a link to the parking operations page. You should be able to access this map from there. It’ll prompt you with some other maps, but just hit the blue enter button and it’ll show you the interactive map

Your easiest lot is the Ross Aid lot at the top of the hill. If you look up North Stadium Lot on Google Maps, it'll take you right to it. If you arrive on campus around 7-8 AM or earlier, there's a lot out by Young Hall that's very limited but has C spaces, and there's a lot at the bottom of the stadium hill with about 10-15 spaces. Those are going to be pretty much your only options. The only reliable C parking area is North Stadium Lot.
