Visitor/Guest Parking

Visitors or guests may park and purchase Virtual Single Day and Hourly permits through ParkMobile App or self-service Permit Paystations.  We recommend downloading the ParkMobile app before arriving at SJSU for faster and move convenient visitor parking payments.  

Please note: Permit is valid only within the applicable date and time range based on the purchase date and time. Permits purchased before the effective date are valid from the effective date and time through expiration, and permits purchased on or after the effective date are valid from the purchase date and time through expiration.
