Displaying Your Permit

Your permit must be hung from your rearview mirror or placed on the driver’s side dashboard at all times while parked on campus. Permits are assigned to you and your vehicle(s) and may not be shared. Failure to display your permit properly or transferring it to another person may result in a fine or loss of privileges. Permits must be visible in their entirety.

Permit Enforcement

Parking lots are monitored daily from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Parking in the wrong lot or without a visible permit will result in a fine ranging from $25 to $100. Fines will double if not paid within 10 days. Fines can be paid at the Finance Office in the Student Services Center.
