UPDATE 10/16/24 Please read these important changes communicated by UGA Parking Services. Please plan accordingly.*

  • Parking for cars and small vans (must fit into a standard space and be able to enter the parking deck with a clearance of 7 feet) is available at the Tate Center Parking Deck (or one of the other paid decks) at the daily rate. The surface lot at Tate is no longer available for anyone for any reason (no vans or minibuses), per UGA Parking Services.

  • If traveling by school bus or charter bus, please email gspa@uga.edu in advance to let us know if you haven't already. Buses must drop participants off and pick them up at the Tate Student Center. Parking Services is no longer allowing school buses or charter buses to park anywhere on campus. Bus drivers are responsible for locating their own parking off campus. Some grocery stores or big box stores may allow this.

  • Minibuses or larger vans only may park at either the College Station Rd Park and Ride (Lot E23) or the UGA Jack Turner Softball Stadium, 2330 S Milledge Avenue, Athens, GA. View UGA bus schedules and plan ahead for anyone who may need to shuttle back to the Tate Student Center.
