Getting a $75 ticket for running items into a building for a job on campus should not be an appropriate measure. Especially if you walk up before the ticket is printed, and they still give it to you.

Last year colter lot was free and now this year it is $10, still unpaved with half, if not more, cut out of it. All the parking structures are very far away and inconvenient for all students, commuters or not. I have to allow a 20 minute walk when I'm determining when I need to leave for work. It's ridiculous.

If you don't pay for parking, you get a ticket. If you DO pay for parking, you get a ticket for parking in the wrong place, because there were no spots where you paid to park.
It's a scam, and it's disgusting.

I pay too much to walk too far just to get to campus.

I commute, and I thought getting Halo would be way more convenient than 29th... but it takes nearly just as long to find a spot, as it would if I just walked from home.
I'm sick of GCU caring more about their income than the actual students.

It is absolutely ridiculous that GCU is charging $150 to park in a garage where we cannot even park on the first and second floor. MAKE SEPERATE PARKING FOR GUESTS. How can you expect students to pay for covered parking and then kick them out of half of it so they are forced to park on the top floor in the sun??? If I wanted to do that, I just wouldn't pay for a pass!! The overcrowding is causing students to park on Missouri Ave(which is unsafe) and causing parking tickets. STOP MAKING HOUSING AND BUILD MORE PARKING LOTS! STOP SCAMMING PEOPLE.

There is barely any parking for students; I spend a lot of time just trying to find a spot whenever I come to campus just to have to park on the highest floor where it's not even covered. The reason why I paid the $150 was to park my car in a covered spot. I hope something changes.

Students have to pay for parking when visitors and people who come to events on campus don't. Doesn't make sense and the parking options on campus don't do students any favors by being so far. Colter parking is strictly dirt and rocks. My car receives damage every year parked out there.

I paid $150 to park in the 29th Ave garage so my car could be covered. I'm not going to complain about the long walk there, but I will say I'm upset that I spent 15 minutes the other day trying to find a spot in the garage that wasn't directly in the sun, because we had to move our cars for 'event parking.' Why do we need to leave the 1st and 2nd floors empty even on days when there's not events? It would have been nice to know this before purchasing the pass. If I wanted to park my car out in the sun, I would have saved the $150 and not selected any garage.

If event parking is free, THEY should have to park in the gravel lot, or they should have to pay to park in OUR parking lot if you are going to eliminate 30% of our parking options. Commuter students and residents pay $150 for covered lot parking OFF CAMPUS (a 10-15min walk from our apartments) and we often cannot find parking. I have even carpooled with other students or considered WALKING to Walmart for groceries to not risk losing a parking space in the lot. There is enough to worry about when leaving campus in this neighborhood as it is, I shouldn't have to worry that I will not be able to park my car when I get back.

It's ridiculous that I have to pay $150 for a parking permit but cannot even park in half of the garage. I realize why GCU wants to reserve parking for those attending an event, but to take away parking from those who actually pay is no where near fair. I love to see GCU expanding so much but to continue to accept students and not add parking spots, or even food places for that matter, does not make any sense.

I paid $150 to have a parking spot in the 29th Ave. garage, but like others have said I waste a half tank of gas just trying to find a parking spot., THAT I PAID FOR.

I paid $150 for parking, as I have every year, but this year I go through a quarter tank of gas looking for a parking spot where I don't have to leave my car in the hot Arizona sun all day. GCU is expanding to fast, and in doing so, has failed to take care of the students they already had. This lope loves her school, but she's also disappointed.

I am a parent of a GCU student, who had to work to pay for her own parking permit, I find it very callous on the part of a For-Profit school to try and make a buck on students that are there for an education. GCU find another venue to make money other that over selling Parking Permits.

You cannot keep adding housing, sports facilities, etc..., while NOT adding more parking to accommodate the growth....and yet still expect things to run smoothly. Something needs to be done about this ASAP. You must put the safety of your students FIRST!! And not only is this a safety issue but it is also an integrity issue. You have promised certain things (a parking space for those who have paid for one) and are not living up to your end of that promise. Do something NOW!!

Money doesn't grow on trees. I paid $150 for covered parking. I literally had to come an hour earlier to find parking. I found parking on the 5th floor and even then, space was really limited. More parking spaces are needed and better traffic flow is needed on the 35th Ave parking where Grover is. It's dangerous with four different types of traffic trying to leave one entry/exit point.
