• UCSB Parking Information
  • NOTE: Parking permits are now required at all times. Please check Parking - Visitor Information.
    If you plan on driving to campus, please be aware that daily parking rates can be costly, $8.00 per day. If the daily option is appropriate for your stay, you will need to drive to Parking Services to purchase a one-day permit. For longer stays, you may want to purchase a long-term parking permit at a more economical rate of $56.00 per month. Be sure to identify yourself as "a KITP visitor/faculty member" to obtain the academic permit eligibility status. The staff can give you a map and directions to park in the Lot 10 structure. Permits are required Monday-Sunday 7:30am-10:00pm and can also be purchased from the parking lot pay machines after business hours (8am-5pm, M-F) when the Parking Services office is closed.
  • DO NOT use the parking lot machine in Lot 10 to buy a 'daily permit' on a weekday (unless you have a handicapped plackard and will be parking in a handicapped space). You will get a ticket! Those permits are NOT VALID there for other full-day visitor parking Monday through Friday.
  • Did you get a parking ticket?
• Banking
  • There is no bank on campus, but there are ATM's, both inside and outside, for Bank of America (and for Golden One Credit Union) at the Arbor near the Library and for Wells Fargo Bank at the University Center.
• US Mail - Stamps & Packages
  • There is a post office at the University Center.
• Lose something? 
  • We keep found items here for a short time, but then they are taken to the campus Lost and Found.
