On the Urbana parking website, it says that campus meters are enforced 7 AM to 6 PM. Are you not allowed to park there from 2AM to 6 or something like the campus lots? I need somewhere to park from 9ish PM to 4AM for a couple of days.

I have gotten a ticket for parking at a meter on the street on campus at 530 am before. I've been told parking in the lots is better, but I haven't had to park during those hours in awhile.

Urbana streets require a permit.
If you're only parking for a few days, find a Champaign street to park on (without meters). They don't require a permit and there will be no problem with a few days. But if you abandon your car, they will also ticket/tow it.
Most require a permit, but I though the ones north of Green and east of Lincoln didn't.
Right. I had forgotten, but that's true.
That's when they clean the streets usually. I think the garage in downtown Urbana should work? The barrier will always be raised during that time and I don't believe they sweep in there.
A lot of lots have signs near the entrance saying something like no parking 2 AM-6 AM, 7 days a week.
You could find a street in Urbana and do street parking at night, or find a lot which doesn't have that enforced (not sure where that would be). That being said, I have left my car in lots where that is the case multiple times in similar time blocks and not had issues (YMMV with this strategy).
