Important Information about Parking & Decals


Officers will begin issuing citations starting Monday, September 9.  If you have not yet gotten your 2013-14 parking decal, please do so ASAP.  Look for the Campus Safety table in the College Center lobby on Thursday and Friday.  After that, you can get decals at the Campus Safety office (located in new South Hall) between 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. during the week.  Also, look for the Campus Safety table in the College Center in the next few days.

YOU MUST HAVE YOUR VEHICLE’S TAG NUMBER to get a decal.

Some quick tips:
  • South and North residents are NOT allowed to park in the AC lots between 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., M-F.  This area is for Visitors; Fac/Staff; and Commuter students.
  •   Students are NOT allowed to park in the Whitworth/Sanders circle between 8 a.m. –  4:30 p.m., M-F.  This area is for Visitors and Staff.
  • South residents are not allowed to park on North side from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., M- F.
  • Aside from the TWO Handicapped spaces at the end of the AC sidewalk (by Sullivan-Harrell & English House), vehicles are not allowed to park in this semi-circle area.
  • NEVER park in a space designated for Handicapped if you do not have official designation, EVEN if it’s just for a minute, late, in the rain, on the weekend.
