You have several options when your parking need is mainly in the evening hours in Chicago. If you expect to be attending classes less than twice per week, you may self-validate your parking ticket for a discounted rate that is currently $7.50 per evening. This rate applies to Saturday parking as well. This is valid in either of two University garages: the 222 E. Huron Self-Park designated as "Lot C", or the 321 E. Erie parking structure, designated as "Lot D". One can park in either lot from 4:00 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. Monday through Friday or from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The parking ticket must be validated on the 6th floor of Wieboldt Hall in the first cubicle south of the elevators to get the reduced rate. Upon exiting the parking structure, present the validated ticket to the attendant to receive your discounted rate.
