Parking permits are required to park on campus. You must have a current 2024-2025 parking permit. Your permit needs to be facing outwards and hanging from your rearview mirror so we can see the current permit. Old permits and backwards facing permits will not work and could result in getting a parking sticker on your car. Student parking permits can be purchased from the following link:
