Parking is provided to students based on where they live. Most students live on campus in one of three residential locations or they commute from houses and apartments surrounding Duke. Available parking spaces and associated permits are limited in Duke lots; as such, all students are not guaranteed the privilege of parking a vehicle on campus.

• First-year students live on East Campus and are eligible for parking around East Campus residence halls.
• Upperclassmen undergraduate residents either live on Central Campus or West Campus.
• Off campus undergraduates park with West Campus residents in the Blue Zone.
• Most Graduate and Professional students commute from off campus to Duke. Parking is provided to graduate and professional students in mid- to low-priced commuter lots throughout campus.
