There is a limit of one permit per employee at any one time. Permits will not be granted or renewed if unpaid campus parking citations are on record.听
Employee parking permits are designed to allow flexibility for use on up to 3 vehicles registered, as long as no more than one vehicle is parked on campus at a time. The movable decal can be peeled and stuck to any clean windshield interior numerous times without being damaged. If the permit decal should fail to adhere or tear during the course of the year, please return the damaged permit to Student Services for replacement at no cost to you.
