Campus visitor permits
Visitor parking permits are available at the Visitor Information Booth at $2 per day (see map). Traveling east on Hillsborough Street, passing the D. H. Hill Library on your right, turn right after the Bell Tower at the Hillsborough Street traffic circle onto Pullen Road. Follow the visitor parking signs to the Visitor Information Booth, where they will direct you to the Coliseum Parking Deck, which is a five to ten minute walk from the D. H. Hill Library.
The Dan Allen Deck pay lot is also available for visitor parking. Traveling east on Hillsborough Street, before passing D. H. Hill Library, turn right onto Dan Allen Dr. The deck will be on the right. This pay lot only accepts credit cards.
Purchase visitor parking permits online up to two weeks prior to the visit date. However, please note that the permit cannot be printed until the day of the visit.

Other parking
Hillsborough Street has metered spaces on both sides of the street in front of D. H. Hill. They are enforced from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Pay stations are placed at regular intervals along the street. You can find free street parking a few blocks from campus, north of Hillsborough St. These are primarily residential streets, and some have two-hour time limits. Be on the lookout for signs indicating such limits. The farther from campus, the more open the parking will be. During semester weekdays, these street parking places tend to be quite full.
Parking information for disabled users.
Campus visitors may park for free at the Park & Ride lot at Carter-Finley Stadium. The free-of-charge Wolfline bus service (Route 6) runs between Carter-Finley Stadium and a stop right outside the D. H. Hill Library. The trip takes only 10 minutes, and buses run every 10 minutes during the fall and spring semesters. Please note that Park & Ride Lots may be particularly full on the days of NCSU football games.
