Parking at Fayetteville State University
Campus Growth & Modified Parking Updates
Fayetteville State University is experiencing unprecedented growth, with exciting new additions, including a residence hall, dining options, a parking deck, an education building, and a health and wellness center. While these improvements enhance the FSU experience, we recognize that they have also created temporary parking challenges.
Effective July 1, 2025, we will implement a comprehensive parking plan developed through months of collaboration with our Parking Committee, which includes dedicated representatives from students, faculty, and staff.
