Parking Rates for 2026-2027
MSUM parking lot and sidewalk maintenance, repair, reconstruction, snow removal equipment, and vehicle costs are covered by fees from parking permits, metered parking, and parking fines. Tuition and other fees are not used for this purpose.
The MSUM Facilities, Grounds, & Safety Committee (FGSC) is charged with reviewing the Universities parking regulations and rates annually. In addition to FGSC reviewing the parking rates, there was consultation with MSUM Student Senate and open campus meetings with staff and students.
As a result of the consultation process, we will maintain the same parking permit structure & permit rates will increase by approximately 3% for 2026-2027 academic year. This will help maintain campus parking lot conditions to meet expectations and needs of students, staff, and visitors. Below is a summary of permit rates.
