Commuter and residential permits
Vehicles parked on campus without a current parking permit will be cited. Please make sure your vehicle is registered and attached to your active permit.
Commuting students are welcome to register multiple vehicles to a permit, however, only one vehicle may be parked on campus at any time. Campus residents may purchase additional permits for use in residential lots.
Permits and vehicles need to be renewed once a year.
