Disabled Person (DP) Parking
Disabled person parking areas are reserved for those persons with a valid DMV issued placard or plate. The permit must be accompanied by a paid SDSU permit at all times. Drivers transporting a person with a disability may park in a DP stall as long as the disabled person's DMV placard or plate is present. In the event that all DP stalls are full, the vehicle may park in any visitor, student (S or N), faculty/staff (F/S), service/vendor (S/V), or special permit (SP) 900 parking stall. Should you require special accommodations as the location in which you wish to park is full on a consistent basis please contact Parking and Transportation Services at [email protected].
All Disabled Person “DP” parking stalls are clearly marked with blue ground marking and signs posted. All Disabled Persons who own a valid DMV placard or plate must purchase a parking permit. Please see the following links for additional information on purchasing permits (Student Day, Student Day/Overnight, Visitor, or Faculty/Staff).
Disabled persons may not park in Special Permit (SP) areas (other than SP 900) or Electric Vehicle (EV) stalls unless they have been assigned the special permit or are actively charging their vehicle. Disabled Persons with the appropriate DMV placard or plate may park in P8, P6B, and P10 without the required PayByPhone payment if a SDSU permit has already been purchased and registered in the Aztec Parking Portal.
Ensure the vehicle is parked properly within the with lines, with the license plate pointing towards the aisle so that the vehicle’s license plate may be scanned.
