## Parking at Northeastern Illinois University - El Centro Campus

Northeastern Illinois University - El Centro Campus is at 3390 North Avondale Avenue in Avondale, near Logan Square. El Centro provides parking to students, faculty, and staff at no additional charge (neiu.edu). The university’s parking service operates permit-only parking for visitors, students, faculty, and staff (neiu.edu).

Students use a rate of $10 per credit hour up to a maximum of 16 credit hours (neiu.edu). Visitors and vendors can buy daily passes for $5 per day (neiu.edu). NEIU lists El Centro at 3390 North Avondale Ave., Chicago, IL 60618, with Parking Services reachable at (773) 442-4114 or (773) 442-4117 (neiu.edu).

## Busy Periods Around the El Centro Campus

Parking demand is most relevant during university term periods, when student, faculty, and staff parking activity combines with visitor trips. Students are charged by credit hour, while visitors use daily passes, so the permit rules apply across ordinary teaching days as well as other campus visits (neiu.edu).

NEIU publishes El Centro directions and parking information separately from its main-campus parking pages, and identifies the site as less than three miles south of Northeastern’s Main Campus (neiu.edu). The university’s parking information also covers visitors and vendors, but the published material does not provide event, open-day, or surrounding-street restriction details for the Avondale site.
