School of Continuing Education and Graduate Parking

Students interested in parking for School of Continuing Education and Graduate School are to register their vehicles every September.  A campus permit is good for one year.  The permit allows a student access to designated parking areas.  The availability of a parking space is not guaranteed.  Students may have to park on adjacent streets, as city parking codes allow.

Once a sticker is obtained, it must be placed in the driver’s side of the windshield.  The sticker is not to be removed or transferred.  If a faculty, grad student, grad assistant, or School of Continuing Education student returns to the campus with a different vehicle or new windshield, the old sticker must be removed in order to receive a new sticker.
