  6. UCLA Courtesy Parking: Event participants should be directed to Parking Structure 2, which is adjacent to UCLA’s Terasaki Life Sciences Building. Guests would need to make parking arrangements with the Designated Event Representative, who would need TSREQ access, or the UCLA Courtesy Parking Office. The Designated Event Representative will be able to request Courtesy Parking for non-affiliated UCLA guests. Authorized department FAUs are recharged for the parking service so guests can park hassle-free. If the Designated Event Representative does not have TSREQ access designation, he or she should contact their Departmental Security Administrator (DSA) to gain authorization.

Campus parking rates are $14 per automobile. Reserving groups may also pay for parking on behalf of their guests through the Courtesy Parking Office. Pay by Space parking is also available in this structure. If using this option, reserving group cannot pay for this option in advance. Visit www.parkmobile.com for a contactless payment. Other options provided by this office include directional signage and/or the hiring parking attendants to assist larger groups. Please contact UCLA Courtesy Parking offices by dialing (310)825-3169.
