As you may be aware, JCU is embarking on an exciting building project. The new Athletic, Wellness & Event Center (AWE) will be built on the site of an existing parking lot. Consequently, for the duration of the construction project, we will need to park first-year and second-year resident students off campus at nearby parking areas.ÌýThere is limited capacity at these lots, so it is very possible not all requests will be accommodated.

We appreciate your patience as we navigate these parking challenges. Please know that the safety and well-being of our students are very important to us. Please reach out to the parking office with any specific questions or concerns.

The ¾«¶«AV Police Department (JCUPD) is primarily responsible for ensuring the safety of all persons living, working, or visiting the University. This requires considerable attention to regulating the flow of traffic and the appropriate use of parking. We have developed rules to help govern traffic and parking on University property. Adherence to these rules will facilitate the safe and efficient use of parking areas and roadways around campus.

Please read our regulations carefully. If you have questions, please email parking@jcu.edu or call the JCU Parking Office at 216-397-2277, Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. or call the JCU Police Department at 216-397-1234 after hours.

Effective September 2024, updates to security at the Notre Dame Lot have been made. There have been multiple cameras installed as well as a night security guard from 11:00 pm - 6:00 am.Ìý

All visitors should enter campus through the main entrance at Fairmount CircleÌýand pick up a visitor's permit at the Main Gate House.
