Parking Information

Parking and operating a motor vehicle on the St. John Fisher University campus is a privilege. All vehicles on the Fisher campus must be registered with the Office of Safety and Security and display a valid parking permit or pass on the vehicle.

Fisher will not be responsible for the loss of, damage to, or theft of any vehicle on SJF property.

Parking Reminders

Classes start at 8 a.m. every day of the week. We ask that commuter students plan their time accordingly and arrive on campus early enough to park and get to class on time.

If you are a resident student, you must keep your car parked in a residential lot when on campus. We ask you to respect these guidelines. If we see cars with resident lot permits parked elsewhere on campus, they will be ticketed.
