Parking Pass Information

• For visitors who do not already have an App State parking pass, a visitor parking pass can be purchased in their Community Music School registration form. 
  • 7am-7pm visitor parking pass - $25/month
  • 5pm-7pm visitor parking pass - $10/month
• These semester visitor passes allow the holder to park in any University-owned surface lot, including the lots around the Broyhill Music Center, any weekday of the specified month(s) except for football game days. 
• The Community Music School does not make money from parking passes. We are not able to cover these through tuition assistance or discounts.

How to pick up your parking pass (UPDATED Spring 2024):

NOW EASIER! Passes DO NOT need to be picked up off campus!

If you have purchased a parking pass in your completed registration at least 2 business days before your first class or lesson, you can pick it up when you check in at your first class or lesson. (If the pass is not purchased at least 2 business days before your first class/lesson, it will not be available for your first class/lesson, but it will be ready for your second class/lesson.)

The parking pass is a hang tag that you will then put on your vehicle for the semester. You may wish to arrive a few minutes early to your first class/lesson in order to place it on your vehicle.
