Permits are required to park on campus every day that regular classes are held, including the first day of the semester (September 16th). Parking lots are patrolled between 8am and 4pm, Mon-Fri, for school parking permits. Typical rules and regulations are enforced 24/7. Plan accordingly when trying to find parking in the middle of the day and when lots are full. ​

parking pass reservation

For students residing off campus and planning to bring a vehicle to Rexburg, make sure you have parking reserved and confirmed from your apartment management. The university has a limited amount of overnight parking reserved for the tenants of certain apartment complexes. You can contact your manager to see if they are participating.

​Overnight parking on city streets is also limited. Daytime parking on city streets near campus requires a city parking pass. Contact the City of Rexburg for more information about city street parking. If you have not secured parking before arriving, consider not bringing a vehicle to Rexburg; the university won’t be able to help you if you can’t find overnight parking​.

Inspirational Message

Student Living

“What is discipleship? It is primarily obedience to the Savior. Discipleship includes many things. It is chastity. It is tithing. It is family home evening. It is keeping all the commandments. It is forsaking anything that is not good for us” - President James E. Faust.
