Paid parking areas are on a first-come, first-serve basis for anyone to use. The PBL (Pay-by-License) machines must be paid in advance for the time you are in the space, whether or not you have an IUP parking permit. These are enforced hourly Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., during each academic session from the first day of registration through the last day of finals, excluding breaks.

2.7 Disabled Parking

Parking shall be reserved 24 hours daily for vehicles with a disabled registration plate, disabled veteran's registration plate, disabled placard, or temporary disabled permit. An IUP parking permit will not be required for vehicles displaying a disabled plate, DV plate, or disabled placard from PennDOT. If a temporary permit is required, a 14-day limit will be imposed. Extensions will be granted if the disabled permit has been applied for through the state and has not been received. Other types of extension requests will be addressed on a case by case basis. A doctor's letter is required to obtain a temporary disabled permit. If the disabled parking spaces in the desired parking lot are occupied, or a closer space is desired, a vehicle with disabled plate or placard may be parked in any nonreserved parking space.
