Parking - General Information

Belmont’s parking registration for the 24-25 academic year is open.

Permits are now virtual, so there is no need to visit Campus Security to pick up a parking decal. Instead of a physical permit to display, each student/faculty/staff will register their vehicle's license plate(s) and then park where their virtual permit allows. This removes the burden of issuing, securing (no more lost/stolen permits) and displaying the physical permit. In essence, your license plate is your permit. No more long permit pickup lines!

Visitors may register at belmont.aimsparking.com. Registration is free of charge and may be done for up to two days at a time. Once registered, there is no need to print or display any permits on your dash as your visitor parking pass is virtual.

License plate readers are in use at garage entrances and exits and at surface lot entrances and exits at West Belmont between Acklen Avenue and Belmont Blvd, the Hillside entrance and exit, and the entrance and exit on Caldwell Avenue.

Students, faculty, and staff are expected to park on campus rather than on streets in surrounding neighborhoods.

Students: All vehicles operating on campus must be registered and renewed every academic school year. Please re-register your vehicle or bicycle on your MyBelmont. Bicycles need only be registered once.

Faculty/Staff: All vehicles must be registered. As long as the vehicle make, model, or license plate do not change, registration only needs to be completed once.

If you bring a vehicle to campus, you are responsible for observing all parking rules and regulations as well as all federal, state, and local laws governing the operation of a motor vehicle.

Belmont University reserves the right to regulate the use of motor vehicles on campus and may prohibit the use of motor vehicles by persons who violate university regulations. Belmont University assumes no financial responsibility for theft or damage to motor vehicles or contents for vehicles parked or operated on campus.

Belmont sits in the heart of Nashville and is a convenient walking or biking distance from numerous downtown shops, restaurants, and other amenities. Belmont offers Enterprise CarShare and has secured partnerships with Nashville's Metro Transit Authority (MTA) to provide all students, faculty and staff free transportation on MTA buses and the Music City Star rail system.

The University Parking Committee, composed of Student Government and departmental representatives from across campus, is responsible for making recommendations regarding campus traffic and parking; administration considers these recommendations in setting policies and regulations. Rules and regulations apply on all campus property, which includes the section of Belmont Boulevard between Portland Avenue and Acklen Avenue.
