Student Parking
Vehicle registration must be completed within the
first ten (10) days of the start of each semester. Entry gates at
all student parking lots and garages will be placed in the open
position during these first 10 days, allowing students ample time
to obtain their parking permit for the current semester. After the
first 10 days all entry gates will be placed in the closed
position. Students who have not obtained their parking permit will
be denied access to all campus parking facilities until which time
the parking permit and access card are obtained.
If a vehicle is acquired after initial registration it must
be registered before it can be operated or parked on campus.
