Parking Pay Stations to accept contactless payment
The two parking pay stations located at the Carroll Avenue visitor pay lot will be updated to accept contactless credit card payments. Contactless payment provides an industry-leading layer of card data security to ensure that no cardholder data is exposed during the payment transaction. This means users will have the ability to tap their cards or pay via Google Pay or Apple Pay. These two pay stations will still accept cash.
The pay-by-space pay stations located at Anderson Hall, Peters Campus Life and the Recreation Center will be decommissioned and replaced by AMP Mobile Pay. Cash transactions will be discontinued at these locations.
These changes to the pay stations will be implemented no later than March 31, 2024.
Questions regarding these changes can be directed to parking@niu.edu.

"There's a real benefit to asking questions in class when you're around your professor and other students. You're also able to experience more than just looking at the slides or skipping class. I've also made some really cool friends who I wouldn't have met if I hadn't gone to class, so I definitely think there's a benefit to going to class regularly. Plus, you get the points for attendance, which are basically free points!"
