There are a variety of parking options on or near UK’s campus, including parking garages, surface lots, and parking meters. Visitors can also purchase a single day pass or scratch-off parking permit ($6), which will allow them to park all day. ​Most employee lots and student commuter lots are accessible and available on weekends at no cost. With only a few exceptions, parking permits are not required after 3:30 p.m. on Friday until 5a.m. on Monday.
