What to know about driving on campus
Driving & parking info
If you plan to drive on campus, you should get familiar with where you can park, how permits work, and the tools that help you navigate campus smoothly.
You can use the interactive campus map to find lots and garages near your classes, check parking availability and rules through IU Parking Operations, and stay updated on road closures or construction that might affect your route.
If you ever need help—like a jump start, help with a flat tire, or assistance should you lock your keys in your car—IU’s motorist assistance services can get you moving again.
