Students living on campus must have 54 earned credits to be eligible for a parking permit. In rare cases, the Dean of Students Office may advocate for an exception to this policy. To be considered, students must demonstrate a documented need to park a car on campus where no other option is available.  

Students who believe they need access to a car on campus should complete the following questions. The form is to be completed by the student, and forms completed by another individual on behalf of a student will not be reviewed.   

After the information is received and reviewed, the student will be notified of the decision. At times, a follow-up meeting with an Assistant Dean may be necessary prior to rendering a final decision.  

If your exception request is approved: 

1. Parking Services has final authority on issuing parking permits. Permits will be offered based on parking lot availability and most likely will not be near your residence hall.
2. Requests for a parking permit exception are reviewed and granted for the semester/academic year in question. A student requesting an exception for future semesters/years prior to earning 54 credits will be required to submit a new exception request, and there is no guarantee future requests will be granted. 
3. Parking permit exceptions will not be considered for transportation to off campus employment.
