Planning a campus visit or tour
Use BYU’s campus tour map to plan around the academic-life or student-life route, and check parking guidance before you arrive. The map identifies visitor parking and food locations, so you can orient yourself and plan stops along the way.
Parking rules depend on the lot and the day. The Marriott School says visitor parking is available to people other than current employees, current students at BYU or UVU, and their spouses.
It identifies the lot north of the BYU Museum of Art as the largest and closest visitor lot to the Tanner Building. Tanner Building lots are open to everyone after 4 p.m. on weekdays and all day Saturday and Sunday.
BYU Security says public parking is available in all lots on weekends and university-recognized holidays, while visitor lots and specialty stalls remain enforced. The same restrictions apply during academic breaks and commencement or convocation.
BYU’s parking policy directs visitors to designated visitor areas and requires them to follow posted signs and regulations. Because parking guidance can change, check the official site before you go.
