Parking at Virginia Commonwealth University’s Richmond Campus
VCU manages campus parking through its Parking & Transportation service, which provides permit sales and visitor parking information (parking.vcu.edu). Student commuters can purchase permits for specific campus areas, including the MCV Campus commuter permit offered through the university’s online sales system (parking.vcu.edu).
Visitor parking locations on campus charge $3 an hour, with a maximum daily rate of $17 (parking.vcu.edu). Those facilities can also be used by VCU students, so a visitor rate can be useful for a short appointment or campus visit when a permit is not needed.
When Parking Around VCU Is Hardest
Permit demand is especially visible before the fall term, when students compete for spaces such as the MCV Campus commuter permit. Sales for that permit begin at 9 a.m. on Monday, July 13 (parking.vcu.edu). Drivers visiting during the academic year should allow extra time around student arrival and departure periods.
Parking & Transportation publishes separate information for events, visitor locations, and parking maps, making event dates a key consideration before driving to campus (parking.vcu.edu).
