Guest and Visitors
GVSU is a permit-only campus.
Visitors may obtain a permit from one of our Parking Services offices, from their GVSU contact person, or may park by using Pay-2-Park locations across campus. Visitors are required to provide their photo identification, the license plate number of their vehicle and the contact information for the GVSU subject they are visiting to obtain a permit. Permits must be obtained before parking on campus unless utilizing a Pay-2-Park location. For hours and location information, please click here.
