Parking Information and Directions to the UC Irvine
University Club
including Purchasing a Parking Permit

If this is your first visit to the UCI campus, you should be aware that it is not easy to figure out the campus. We recommend that you get a map with building numbers.

Please note that the University Club (UClub) does have its own parking lot (18B). You do not need a permit to park in this lot. However, this lot is small and fills up quickly. In addition, you can only park there for the duration of the meeting. If you have other plans on campus, you will have to move your car (they will ticket).

The directions below will take you to the UClub parking lot (18B). If it is full, you will need to drive to an automated permit dispenser, purchase a permit, park in lot 18C, and walk to the UClub.

Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space, and to allow time to purchase a permit and to walk to the University Club.
