On-Campus Parking
University of Mary Washington does not guarantee parking spaces will always be available.
A sign at the entrance of each lot will designate each parking area. The parking lot number will be displayed on a background color which corresponds with the decal color of those vehicles permitted to use the lot. For example, Parking Lot Number 2 will have a sign with the number 2 on a blue background (faculty/staff parking). Some lots have multiple uses. Be aware of restriction signs inside the lots.
