Helpful Services

As a commuter student, it’s important to purchase a parking permit to use when you’re on campus. With a student parking permit, you’ll be allowed to park in any student lot or staff/student lot on campus, or any Indiana State remote lot (excluding metered, pay, or specialty lots, including the Psychology Lot). You will need your car registration information to order your permit.

Purchase a Permit

As a commuter student, you’ll still have the option to purchase a meal plan. The Sam’s Plan includes 30 meals per semester plus $40.00 in Commons Cash. The Sycamore Plan includes 50 meals per semester plus $40.00 in Commons Cash. All commuter meal plans expire at the end of each semester.
