INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED. It is not enough to pay for the permit. The full application with all attachments must be received. Permits will not be released to students until the application, driver’s license, insurance card, vehicle registration, and payment have been received.
To qualify for parking privileges, the student must be in good standing with regard to disciplinary status, attendance, outstanding items, fines, parking tickets, etc... These issues will prevent a permit from being issued.
No refunds will be issued for any reason. This includes, but is not limited to: those days students do not attend classes, suspension/revocation of parking privilege, removal of permit, etc.
