Villanova University is concerned about the safety and welfare of its students, faculty and staff, and visitors, and is committed to providing a safe and secure environment.

Parking Information

In an effort to provide our community with adequate parking and safe traffic conditions, it is the policy of Villanova University that junior and senior resident students (by academic year) and all commuting students are eligible to purchase a permit to park on campus. The University reserves the right to assign students to park in designated lots. While we work towards providing close, convenient parking, there may be instances when students are assigned to park in a lot that is not near their residence hall or classroom building.
