Displaying your permit
Display the permit on the lower left side of the windshield on the driver's side, above the inspection sticker. Permit must be completely affixed. Do not leave window cling permit lying on the dashboard of the vehicle.
You must display your parking permit on August 1 prior to the beginning of the fall semester.
Using your permit
The permit may be used on any vehicle you are operating, but all vehicles used will need to be registered with the University Parking Services Office. Vehicles may be registered through the online parking portal or by contacting the Parking Service Office either by telephone or email. Do not sell, give away or loan your permit. You are responsible for any citations issued to a vehicle displaying your permit.
Carpooling
Those who carpool can share the same permit. In the event of a violation, the parking violation is charged to the permit owner—no matter who is driving. If you forget your permit, you must request a temporary permit and display it correctly.
