Event Planning
Special Announcement
Effective March 11 until further notice, Duke University will not host any large special events. Please visit Duke's Coronavirus Response website for more information. If you are planning an event after May 7, please submit an event parking request as described on this page.
Duke offers plenty of options for student and employee groups seeking help planning an event.
Event Parking & Requests
Spaces at Duke are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. For groups of 20 or more, Duke can help to arrange parking for you and your visitors. With smaller groups, it's still a good idea to contact our event planning office to check on the availability of parking and other events that day.
In some cases, a member of Duke's campus safety staff will be needed to assist in parking or managing your event. The average charge per officer is $34 an hour with a four hour minimum. Not all events need an officer, but it is suggested for groups of 20 or more for assistance with parking or attendance.

Reservation requests for weekday parking on the West Campus Quad should be directed to Duke Parking Enforcement at 919-812-2995 or ptsenforcement@duke.edu.
Those not representing Duke departments who wish to request services for event parking on campus, or those representing Duke departments who wish to pay by check or procurement card, may print the above-referenced form and fax or mail it to ptsevents@duke.edu.
