We offer different parking accommodations for different types of visitors, but all visitors are welcome to park in the Rivers Street Parking Deck for an hourly fee.
After 5:00 p.m. weekdays, and at all times on weekends, visitors may park free of charge in any campus lot unless otherwise posted.
Rivers Street Parking Deck
Visitors must prepay, upon arrival, for parking using the ParkMobile app. Once you register your account, select the Rivers Street Parking Deck as your location. Registered users will receive notifications on a mobile device when time is expiring and can add more time directly to the ParkMobile app as needed. Payments through ParkMobile are nonrefundable.
Campus Tour Parking
Parking for campus tours is located in the Holmes Drive Parking Deck. Please follow the instructions provided by the Office of Admissions. For questions, call 828-262-2120 or email admissions@appstate.edu.
Departmental Permits
Departments can purchase permits for invited guests or visitors. These one-day parking permits are for the exclusive use of visitors, and may NOT be used by faculty, staff or students. Visitor permits are valid only in surface lots, NOT in parking decks. If a department is in need of parking in the parking decks, you will need to contact Parking and Transportation at 828-262-2878.

Bus Parking Request
This event form is intended for external clients to request parking on App State’s campus, and is only applicable in cases where a room or space on campus is not also being reserved.
Contractors & Vendors
Contractors and vendors may obtain short-term or long-term parking permits for vehicles. Reserved parking areas are also available for construction staging.
If you are a contractor or a vendor on campus there are a few options for you to choose from.
- Park in the Rivers Street parking deck and pay the daily fee.
- Purchase a contractor/vendor parking permit for the cost of $408.00 for the entire school year.
- Purchase a monthly permit. This is the same price as the full year permit ($34 per month) but allows you to only purchase permits during the months you need parking.
Permits are available at any time during regular business hours from our office located on the second floor of University Hall. New yearly contractor/vendor permits will be available yearly in August.
