I want to

Pay for visitor parking at UNC

Single Guest

The closest parking lot we can validate is the Dogwood Deck on Manning Drive.

Your administrative assistant will need:

  • Guest name
  • Guest license plate or photos of the front and back of their parking stub.
  • Date/time they will need covered.

The admin assistant will validate the parking after the guest arrives, which will allow them to leave without paying.

Pay for a visitor’s travel expenses

Speak to your administrative assistant.

  • Airfare, hotel, and some ground expenses can be paid directly.
  • The visitor can be reimbursed for expenses. They will have to be set up as a vendor first.
