Parking Enforcement
Once the enforcement period begins, current students are required to have a registered parking permit or utilize one of the hourly parking options. NOVA uses a virtual permit system, so you must ensure the license plate number of your vehicle is entered accurately.

No permit is required in student lots, and hourly parking is free. Faculty/staff lots are still enforced.
Parking Enforcement Begins: June 2, 2025
Parking enforcement in student lots and hourly lots begins at 6:00 a.m.
Visitor Parking
Visitors and non-permit holders must pay $2.50 per hour for hourly parking. This includes Passport Mobile Pay or payments via Pay Stations in hourly lots. Parking in Student Permit/Hourly Pay lots is free after 3:45 p.m. Monday through Friday and all day on weekends.
NOTE: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express are the only accepted payment methods for hourly parking. Hourly Pay Stations do NOT accept cash or coins.
