General Information
Moody Bible Institute (MBI) provides parking as a benefit to our employees and as a service to our students, visitors and guests. MBI assumes no liability for vehicles parked in MBI lots, nor shall MBI be held responsible for the loss of goods or property from vehicles parked in MBI's lots.
All vehicles, motorcycles, moped’s and bicycles are required to have a valid parking permit prominently displayed while parked on Institute property. Possession of a permit does not guarantee a parking space. All permits remain the property of the Moody Bible Institute and may be revoked in the event of excess violations or other extenuating circumstances.
Parking Garage and Lots
Parking Garage Levels are reserved as follows:
- Level 0.5 – Faculty and Executive Parking
- Level 1.0 - 3.0 – Employee and Fleet Parking

Lots are reserved as follows
- Lot C – Employee Overflow, Commuter Student & Guests

Visitors
Visitors to the campus may park in the Visitor lot for 15-minutes to receive a parking pass from the ASC desk. Visitor parking passes are available at all Public Safety desks. The Smith Hall Public Safety desk is staffed 24/7.
Employees
Employees will receive a permit upon registering their vehicle. Permits are valid daily from 5am-11:59pm. Permits must be displayed on your vehicle. Parking permits must be returned to Public Safety at the end of employment.
Employee overnight permits are available for those who work overnight shifts (any time between 12am-5am). If an employee is traveling for business purposes, they can request a temporary overnight parking pass from the Public Safety Office. Employees are not permitted to park overnight for non-Institute business reasons. Vehicles must be parked on level 3 of the garage during this time.
Students
A limited number of permits are available for purchase based on seniority and a first-come, first-serve basis. Freshmen are not allowed to bring vehicles to campus.
Permits must be attached on the inside of the lower driver’s side front windshield or placed on the dashboard depending on permit type. It is the students’ responsibility to ensure permits are visible.
Students in need of short-term parking on campus, one day or one night, may purchase a permit from the Public Safety Office during office hours or any of the Public Safety desks.
