Faculty, staff, and students are required to place a parking permit on any vehicle that will be parked on campus. Students are expected to complete the vehicle permit registration process each Fall or Spring (whichever is applicable). The Campus Safety Department enforces campus parking rules and regulations. To get a permit, students will need to fill out the online application, then stop down at Campus Safety to pick it up. Vehicles without permits will be ticketed. For more information about parking permits or where to park on campus, visit the Campus Safety website.
