Proper Use of Permit
All parking permits issued by Public Safety must be displayed on
the rear view mirror. Failure to display a parking hangtag, for any
reason, including those vehicles equipped with oversized rear
view mirrors will result in a parking violation with NO APPEAL.
Furthermore, all permits are non-refundable and nontransferable.
Note: Vehicles equipped with oversized rear view mirrors, window
tint and/or E-Zpass should attach the hangtag by other means (rope,
string, etc.) making sure that the permit is clearly visible.
Illegal Use of Permit
It is unlawful for any person to produce, alter or to display
without the approval of Public Safety, any parking permit
indicating eligibility to park; to park a vehicle bearing a permit
to which he or she is not entitled; or to display a permit not
issued to the specific vehicle(s) to which it was registered. It is
also unlawful to purchase a fraudulently produced parking permit or
to purchase a permit for another individual. Vehicles registered
must belong to the individual registering the vehicle or a member
of the person’s immediate family. Registering for someone else’s
vehicle is prohibited.
Expiration
Permits are valid up to and including the expiration month, day and
year on the permit.
Sale or Trade of Vehicle
Failure to advise Public Safety of a sale or trade for registration
purposes may result in continued responsibility to the permit
holder for violations received on that permit. The permit holder
has responsibility for removing parking permits prior to selling or
trading a vehicle. Persons failing to comply with this requirement
shall pay the cost of a new permit.
Lost/Stolen Permits
Permit holders are responsible for the security of their permits.
The theft or loss of parking permit should be reported to Public
Safety immediately upon discovery. Permits which are claimed lost
may be replaced with original cost of the permit.
Invalid Use of Permit
The ownership of permit is not transferable. Therefore, sharing of
any University parking permit issued by the Department of Public
Safety is prohibited and subject to fine(s) or may be revoked.
Daily Hours of Validity
All general, employees, food service, parking permits are valid
from 6 a.m. – 3 a.m., seven days a week. Murray Residence and
Residence village, Faculty, maintenance permits are valid 24 hours
a day, seven days a week. Change in Residence or License Plate:
Permit holders changing residence or license plates after initial
application must contact Public Safety and complete the necessary
forms. Failure to do so may result in continued responsibility for
violations issued to the old license plate and a loss of parking
privileges.
Enforcement and Fines
Public Safety officers are entrusted with ensuring the safety of
the University community and its visitors. Officers are to be
treated with courtesy at all times, particularly when they are
enforcing parking regulations. Failure to act in a proper manner
may result in the loss of parking privileges. All persons using the
campus parking facilities are expected to cooperate and accept
officers’ directions and suggestions. Officers are required to
place parking violations on all cars in violation of parking
regulations. There should not be any dispute with any officer
issuing parking violations. All complaints may be made to the
