Parking
Parking Services
We serve students, employees and members of the public in their day-to-day parking needs.
All parking services at RDP are managed by Precise ParkLink (West).
Student Parking
Residence Students
Students who have a room in Residence will be emailed a link to purchase a parking permit. Each link is specific to the parking lot closest to a student's assigned room (if possible).
Parking is available on a first-come first-served basis.
Credit Students
All parking for credit students is in unreserved/scramble parking lots as identified in the map below:
Rates for Credit Student Parking
Scramble parking without power in Lots C, D, G, N, Q, R: $40 monthly
One permit allows parking in any credit student parking lot (C, D, G, N, Q and R).
Purchase Credit Student Parking
Then:
- Select the month or term to begin parking at RDP
- Enter your license plate
- Enter your payment method
Note: Each permit purchase has a $2.50 convenience fee charged at the time of purchase, so buying parking for a term is cheaper overall than purchasing parking every month.
Students are able to list more than one license plate when signing up for parking. However, they must inform Precise ParkLink of the license plate of their vehicle that is currently on campus through Honk Mobile or the Honk Mobile App.
Prior to the expiration of your parking permit, you will receive a reminder about renewing your parking permit.
If you have any questions, please email Precise ParkLink or call 1.877.426.0007.
Apprentice Students
All parking for apprentice students is in unreserved/scramble parking as identified in the map below:
Rates for Apprentice Student Parking
Scramble parking without power in Lots B, T and U: $19 per week, or varied costs per Intake length
One permit allows parking in any apprentice student parking lot (B, T and U).
Purchase Apprentice Student Parking.
Then:
- Select the duration of the permit that you require
- Enter your license plate
- Enter your payment method
Note: Each permit purchase has a $2.50 convenience fee charged at time of purchase, so buying parking permits for longer durations has more savings overall than buying parking more often for shorter amounts of time.
Students are able to list more than one license plate when signing up for parking. However, they must inform Precise ParkLink of the license plate of their vehicle that is currently on campus by emailing Precise ParkLink or by calling 1.877.426.0007.
