All motor vehicles that park on campus during the academic year are required to display a current permit for the area in which they will be parked. In order to purchase a parking permit, the vehicle must be registered at the Cashiers Office (2nd floor Deputy Hall), 755-2045. The make, model, color and license state/number of the vehicle is required for registration at the time of purchase. Upon completion of the parking permit registration and payment of the registration fee, a parking permit will be issued. Registration is considered complete when the permit is properly displayed on the vehicle. Proper display is considered as being attached to the rearview mirror, numbers facing windshield so permit is clearly visible.
Permits are required in all campus lots the first day of Fall semester to the end of Spring semester during the academic year. All parking lots are clearly marked at each entrance with signs indicating the necessary permit requirements for that lot. It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner/operator to be aware of the location of legal parking spaces. There are four types of permits available for purchase, which allow parking in specific lots. The permit types are G1, G2, Limited Reserved (LR), and Cedar Apartments. Also available for purchase are (7) or (14) day temporary permits, which are only valid in the G2 lots.
