Faculty/Staff Information & Updates

A parking permit signifies an individual has been granted the privilege of parking on university property. Ownership of the permit remains with the University. The permit is only transferable between vehicles and NOT between individuals. The registered permit holder is responsible for any parking citation issued to a vehicle displaying their parking permit.
