Campus Parking

First-Year Students (Residential and Commuters)
A parking permit request must be approved before you may bring your vehicle to campus. All first year students, regardless of status (residential or commuter), who are interested in having a vehicle on campus, must meet the criteria provided below in order to be eligible for the lottery:

• submitted an enrollment deposit confirming their place in the incoming class
• completed this parking interest form 
• registered for courses (after course registration opens)

Please note that there will be limited parking spaces available, which will be assigned through a parking lottery held mid-late June. During the lottery, students will need to officially apply for a parking permit and complete vehicle registration. There is an annual fee associated with parking.

After the incoming first-year student lottery closes, students may pursue vehicle registration by submitting a Student Parking Registration Form. Submissions of this form are processed as they are received. This form can also be found on the Student Parking website -- www.messiah.edu/studentparking. Locate the form under the “Quicklinks” heading and select the form called “Student Parking Registration Form (Current Undergraduate Students Only)”.

If you have any questions or need more information, please contact studentparking@messiah.edu or call 717-691-6036.

Transfer Students
Use the Student Parking Registration Form (Current Undergraduate Students Only) on messiah.edu/studentparking to register your vehicle.

Student Parking Registration Forms should be submitted before June 30, 2022.  Once you have submitted a registration form, please check your Messiah e-mail regularly for a message regarding the status of your request.

If you have any questions or need more information, please contact studentparking@messiah.edu or call 717-691-6036.
