Visitor Parking 

All Visitors must purchase a parking permit to park at the University, Monday through Friday excluding event arrangements. Parking permits are associated with your license plate. Learn more about License Plate Recognition (LPR).

To ensure visitor parking remains available, UAlbany students, employees, and affiliates are not authorized to park in visitor lots even with fee validation. Thank you for helping us keep these spaces open for our guests!

Conference Parking

To ensure smooth conference parking, please use the Event Management System (EMS) to coordinate with Parking & Mass Transit Services at least four to six weeks before your event.  

We recommend incorporating parking fees into your admission or conference fees to cover the cost of event parking.

After submitting your EMS request, please reach out to us at 518-442-3121 or [email protected]. We’re here to help you plan effectively!
