Patient Parking at University Hospital

  • For Clinic and Outpatient Surgery Patients: Patients arriving for appointments, including patients who will be seen at Cancer Center clinics and patients coming in the day of their surgery who will be staying at the hospital for one day or more, should park in the parking ramp and enter the hospital through the Clinics Entrance. The entrance to the parking intersects Highland Avenue on the east side of the hospital. There are no parking ramp fees for patients; please bring your parking ticket to the Information Desk receptionist for validation.
     
  • For Inpatients: Inpatients are entitled to one free visitor parking pass when admitted, and they decide to whom the pass should be issued. The pass is effective upon the day of admission and can be renewed at no charge should it expire before discharge.
