What should you know about visitor parking and campus access?
Parking at Augsburg depends on your visit type, lot and time, so check the university’s current parking guidance before driving to campus. The campus map identifies visitor parking in Lot A and short-term visitor parking in Lot E; its map shows a three-hour maximum for Lot E.
Augsburg says visitors without official university business who park in west-end lots, including Lots A, D, E and G, need a $5 permit. Its daily permit costs $5 and covers one calendar day, from midnight to 11:59 p.m.; overnight parking requires two permits.
Guests on official university business are not charged, but their host should arrange a permit with the Department of Public Safety. Augsburg asks hosts to make requests at least one week ahead when possible.
Lots L and K are free after 4:00 p.m. and on weekends, but require a valid permit Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
For events, Lot L at 2424 Butler Place S and Lot D at 810 21st Avenue S are common guest parking locations. Guest parking is extremely limited and cannot be guaranteed without prior event arrangements.
Accessible spaces are available throughout campus. You need both an accessibility permit and an Augsburg permit to use them; for help locating parking, call the Department of Public Safety at 612-330-1717. Augsburg monitors its parking lots and garages around the clock using license-plate-reader cameras.

From Key Inn Roseville, the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus is about a 10-minute drive; that gives you a Roseville reference point for planning a Minneapolis campus visit.
