Have you picked up your parking permit?

If you have registered your vehicle, your parking permit is likely ready!  Stop by the Security Services office on your campus to pick up your permit.  Officers will begin ticketing vehicles without parking permits starting March 19!

Please register your vehicle today!

Security Services is in the process of taking a look at creating some visitor parking spaces and has taken everyone’s concerns into account while trying to accommodate this. In the mean time, a walk-in visitor will need to get a day pass from the front desk. If it is a scheduled meeting, staff and faculty will be able to email visitors a day pass ahead of time for them to print off and put on their vehicle before coming to campus.

Please park in a lot that is designated to your specific permission.  Security Services will issue tickets to cars that are not parked in the proper parking lots.
