Yes, parking is an issue at SDSU. SDSU has a lot of commuter students and there is a lot of competition for spots during the day. The nice thing is that there are spaces set aside for you no matter what hall you live in!
Parking costs $24 per month and can be electronically debited from your paycheck. Go to Cashiering Services on the 2nd floor of Student Services West and tell them that you are PERMANENT staff and would like to have parking electronically debited. You can get a bumper sticker or a laminated permit for your dash.
IMPORTANT: After you get a permit, get a housing staff sticker from Jessica McDonald. If you don't put one on your pass you will be ticketed if you park in a specially marked housing space.
If you live in Cuic, the LLC, Tenochca or Zura park in the HRLO or faculty/staff parking spaces in Parking Structure 3. There are also two hidden spaces next to the LLC by one of the bike barns.
If you live in Chapultepec, University Towers or Villa Alvarado, there are spaces set aside in the front of each building's lot.
If you do get a ticket, you can pick up appeal forms at the Parking Office, which is next to University Police on the ground level of Student Services East. If you want to pay the ticket, simply go to Cashiering Services.
