Be sure to read and follow all city parking signs, as Augsburg does not monitor these streets and visitors may be ticketed and towed by the City of Minneapolis if they are in violation of posted parking regulations.
• If no parking is available on campus, visitors can go to the University of Minnesota ramp, located at 400 21st Avenue South (click here for U of M West Bank campus map; ramp is noted as "21st Avenue Ramp" on map). There is a $6 parking fee associated with this ramp, and visitors will be responsible for paying the parking fees and following the posted rules.
