The Overflow Permit is available to CSULB students only.
The permit is designed for those students who have daytime class schedules that begin after 8 a.m. and finish before 5 p.m. as these are the times of peak traffic on campus when additional parking capacity is needed.
The last shuttle departs from campus to the Overflow Lot at 5:15 p.m. If you have classes after this time (Monday-Thursday), we recommend that you purchase a regular Student Semester parking permit and do not purchase the Overflow Lot permit.
Permit recipients will be required to display an Overflow Permit sticker affixed to their campus ID card in order to board the shuttles to/from the Overflow Lot location.
You can pick up your sticker at the Parking Office or the Visitor Information Center during normal business hours starting on 8/3/2026. These stickers will also be available in the Overflow Parking Lot during the first week of its operation, 8/24-8/27/2026.
