Parking Permits at St. John's University in Queens
The campus parking program lists a General Parking permit at $100 for commuter and resident students (stjohns.edu). The General Permit does not allow overnight parking between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. (stjohns.edu), so students leaving a vehicle overnight need to plan around that restriction.
Faculty and employees can order commuter parking permits online through the university’s UIS account, with the 2023-24 permit announcement giving an effective date of August 1 (stjohns.edu). The campus map identifies General Parking, Employee Parking, and Reserved Parking areas, with employee parking shown as operating Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. (stjohns.edu). Visitors are requested to obtain and display a valid permit (stjohns.edu), making the official parking portal the practical starting point for campus visits.
Parksy Parking Spaces Near the Queens Campus
Students looking for a weekly option can choose a private parking space in Jamaica, 0.9 miles away, at $30 a week, or secure 24/7 private parking in Jamaica at the same distance for $75 a week. The lower weekly rate suits regular daytime attendance, while the 24/7 option is better for a student or staff member who needs broader access.

Busy Parking Periods Around the Queens Campus
Parking pressure is greatest during the academic term, when commuter students, resident students, faculty, and employees are arriving for weekday classes and work.
The official campus map separates General Parking, Employee Parking, and Reserved Parking, so a space marked for one group should not be treated as general visitor parking (stjohns.edu). Employee parking is identified for Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. (stjohns.edu), while the General Permit restriction prevents overnight parking from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. (stjohns.edu). These rules matter most when a class, event, or late shift runs across the campus parking periods.
Other Parking Choices Near St. John's University
The Parksy options in Jamaica provide alternatives to relying on campus-controlled spaces. A secure outdoor space or secure parking lot, each 0.9 miles away, costs $225 a month, while a private weekly space at the same distance costs $30 a week.

The Jamaica options are useful for visitors, contractors, and staff who do not need a university permit, while the monthly spaces are more practical for repeated attendance.
