Any person owning, operating, or having custody of a motor vehicle on university property must comply with these regulations and procedures. Employees and students should ensure that others who operate motor vehicles are also familiar with the regulations.

These are the regulations and procedures adopted by the Ball State University Board of Trustees pursuant to the authority granted to it by the State of Indiana (IC 20-12-3.5-3) and are accurate at the time of printing. 

General hours for parking lot enforcement are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, for red restricted lots; 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, for yellow general faculty/staff lots; 3:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, for green commuter lots; and 3:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. for all parking garages. General hours for parking lot enforcement in the blue residence hall lots are 7 p.m. Sunday through 5 p.m. Friday, 24 hours daily, unless otherwise posted.

The football stadium lot is overflow for all zones.

All lots have signs at the entrance stating the type of permit required and enforcement hours. Please check the signs carefully. 

All parking facilities, except the parking meters, and the metered floors of all parking garages, require a parking permit during enforcement hours. 

A parking permit does not guarantee the availability of a parking space. It grants only the privilege to park in an assigned area.  Absence of a parking space does not justify violation of any parking regulation.

Ball State University reserves the right to close any parking lot without notice.   Any area, including, red restricted areas, may be closed to parking during hours specified by the univeristy.

During football season, vehicles must be removed from the stadium lot by 9 p.m. on the evening before a home game and may return 2 hours afer the completion of the game.  During crowd gathering events (i.e. home basketball games and Emens and Sursa Hall shows/events) vehicles may be required to move to the stadium lot.  Vehicles parked in the baseball overflow lot must be moved during baseball season.

VERBAL OR PHYSICAL ASSAULT OF PARKING ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR PARKING STAFF WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.  INDIVIDUALS ENGAGING IN THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR ARE SUBJECT TO THE UNIVERSITY DISCIPLINARY PROCESS AND/OR POSSIBLE CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.

The University assumes no liability for loss or damage to a vehicle or its contents while parked in a university lot.
