These permits are available through the parking office and may not be given to university students, faculty or staff.

Anyone performing a construction or maintenance project on campus is not considered a visitor and must follow all parking rules and regulations. The contractor must work through their NAU representative or project manager to assess parking needs that will allow for parking permits to be issued. NAU Project representatives or university project managers must submit a request form. The form must be submitted at least two business days in advance to ensure the capacity for parking exists to accommodate your needs.

Vendors to campus are required to display a valid parking permit. Vendor parking needs that cannot be met utilizing one of the short term options can be discussed by calling the Parking and Shuttle Services office.
