NEW: Parking Pass Information

  • As of Fall 2023, there is now a charge for parking between 7am and 7pm on weekdays at Appalachian State University. 
  • 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.

How to pick up your parking pass:
