The shuttle travels throughout the campus on regular routes and is free for everyone — students, campus guests, and visitors. Check out shuttle hours, routes, and schedule online at parking.iupui.edu.
As a resident of Housing and Residence Life, you are eligible to purchase a parking permit. Permit options vary depending on which facility you live in. To purchase a parking permit or to explore your parking permit options, please visit the parking services office or visit their website at parking.iupui.edu.
Your CrimsonCard is used to gain access to your assigned residence hall or apartment house only along with community specific amenities. Residents must carry their CrimsonCard with them at all times, are responsible for their own ID card, and should not lend it to anyone for any reason. Students should not allow non-residents to gain access into the residential facilities. The propping of doors is prohibited.
If you lose your CrimsonCard, visit crimsoncard.iu.edu to deactivate your card. This will prevent unauthorized entry by another person. You will also need to visit the CrimsonCard office and pay the replacement fee to obtain a new card. Access for new cards can take several hours to load.
In the event that you need a temporary card, guest passes can be issued to you from your community office and will provide access to your residential community for up to 72 hours. All guest passes must be returned to avoid charges.
