stations accept cash payment or credit cards. They do not give change
back nor are refunds issued for time paid for but not used. Unused parking time
in one lot may not be used in another lot. Parking is only valid for the
lot paid. If you move to another lot, payment is required again in the
lot that you move to.
How does it work?
The “multi-space” meter is pay station kiosk designed for quick,
easy parking. The machine accepts multiple forms of payment, including cash,
coins, and credit cards.
With “Pay by Plate” parking, you have an option to print a receipt
after you pay. However, you do NOT need to return to your vehicle to display
the receipt on your dashboard.
PLEASE NOTE: THE PAY STATION KIOSKS DO NOT PROVIDE CHANGE. If you
are not paying with a credit card, or via the Spot On mobile payment app,
please use exact change.
Mobile Payment App
A new payment alternative for “Pay by Plate” parking is available
with the MSU Parking SPOT ON* app. The iOS and Android application (available
as a web app for other mobile platforms) allows you to pay for a parking
session fast and easy. For parking sessions initiated with the app, you can
also extend your parking session if you need more time without returning to the
parking lot. Check out the SPOT ON website for additional information.
*PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS A $0.30 CONVENIENCE FEE
APPLIED TO EACH ‘SPOT ON’ TRANSACTION.
