Employee Parking Policy
Fees for parking at Purdue University Northwest will be consistent, and reciprocal. All current fees will remain the same with the exception of the reserved parking fee which will be increased to $450.00.
“Free Parking” will no longer exist at the Westville campus. Free parking has not been available at the Hammond campus for several years. Any benefit-eligible employee using campus lots must pay for parking. Options include Hammond campus preferred or basic parking, and “B” lots or “A” preferred parking at the Westville campus.
Parking fees must be paid through payroll deduction. “A” permit hang tags may be obtained from the PNW Police Department and are honored on both PNW campuses as well as specified parking areas on the West Lafayette campus.
