The Department of Psychology receives a diverse array of visitors regularly, including prospective students, lab participants, guest lecturers, job applicants, and more. Many of these individuals prefer to commute to the university using their personal vehicles. The university provides a range of parking options, which can be explored through the virtual campus map. Please note that certain parking options may require payment.

Parking Validation Process

If you are expecting a guest to visit the department and wish to cover their parking expenses, the Central Office offers a convenient validation process. Here are the steps to follow:

• Advance Notification: We recommend that the host notify the Central Office ahead of time if someone is expected for validation.
• EFS Account Information: Provide an accurate EFS account string to facilitate the parking charge.
• Visitor's Responsibility: The visitor should either bring their parking coupon/ticket they receive upon entering the parking ramp to the Central Office (located in N218, Elliott Hall) or send pictures of both the front and back to psymain@umn.edu.
  • This step needs to be completed before the visitor exits the parking ramp.
• Request Inclusion: If the EFS account string was not sent in advance, it must be included in the validation request.

Hang Tags

The department maintains a limited supply of hang tags, which may be checked out for specific, short-term, and specialized circumstances. These circumstances may include:

• Unloading supplies (one-time action)
• Installers of equipment and furniture

For further inquiries or assistance, contact the Central Office (psymain@umn.edu).
