Student Parking
On-campus parking is limited. Applications for parking permits open prior to the semester in which they are valid. All students will receive an email from the Parking and Access Team when the application opens. They must apply through the ARMS APP by logging in with their Moody credentials
If students absolutely need a parking space for church, work, or PCM, they will need to apply as soon as their application window opens. Permits are granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Submitting the application early may disqualify students from receiving a permit. Seniors will have the chance to apply first, then Juniors, then Sophomores. Freshmen are not eligible for Parking Permits.
After students have submitted the application, the Parking and Access Team will notify them about the status of their application. It may take a few days to process requests. Students should not reach out to the Parking and Access team unless they have not heard back after tiwo weeks.
If students have been approved for a parking pass, they will have a limited amount of time when school begins to pick up their parking permit, or it may be given to another student.
Moody Bible Institue (MBI) provides parking as a benefit to our employees and as a service to our students, visitors and guest. MBI assumes no liability for vehicles parked in MBI lots, nor shall MBI be held responsible for the loss of goods or property from vehicles parked in MBI's garage or lots.
On Campus Students
Parking fees will be paid via student account.
All parking violations must be paid in order to purchase a permit. When students receive their email notification, the Parking and Access Team will let them know if they have outstanding parking violations and the total amount owed. These must be paid prior to their permit purchase or at the same time as their permit purchase. Parking violations will be charged to students' accounts.
On-Campus Pricing:
- School Year Permit $350
- Semester Permit $175
- Winter Break Permit $50

If students will be on campus the full school year, they are encouraged to purchase a School Year parking permit which is valid through Winter break ($50 savings), and ensures they have a parking space in the Spring. Summer break parking is not included. See below for more information.

I'll rewrite this in third person:
The institution does not offer regular overnight parking for commuter students. Commuter vehicles must be removed from campus between 12am - 5am everyday. This policy exists to protect student vehicles from damage or theft from the parking lots while parked overnight. The institution apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
