Permits should be purchased prior to the beginning of the fall semester. Enforcement will begin on the first day of scheduled classes. Only one permit will be issued to a student, faculty or staff member and is valid only when permit holder is driving. This permit may be transferred from one vehicle to another when permit holder is the driver. Permits are NOT transferable from one person to another. Ownership of the parking permit remains with the university and is not transferable to other persons. A faculty/staff or student may not purchase a permit for someone else. Permits are to be used by the individual whose name is registered with the permit. Use of the permit by anyone else is considered false registration, AND IS SUBJECT TO PARKING CITATION AND $45 FINE.
STUDENT
Students may purchase a permit prior to the beginning of a semester or the permit cost may be added to the student account when permit is picked up at the Public Safety office. Permits may also be paid for in the Cashier’s Office on the second floor of Sparks Hall and a receipt presented to the Public Safety office. These permits may be picked up during registration at a designated location in the Curris Center at the beginning of the fall semester. After fall registration, permits must be picked up at Public Safety within 24 hours of arrival to campus, excluding weekends and holidays. Summer sessions begin the Monday following spring graduation.
FACULTY AND STAFF (Regular Full Time)
Faculty and Staff may pick up parking permits anytime mid July at the Public Safety office during regular office hours except during pre-announced on site distributions. Early registration for Faculty/Staff normally begins in mid-July (payroll deduction only). Faculty and staff not eligible for payroll deductions or choose not to have payroll deduction must pay in advance at the Cashier’s office for permit and present receipt at pick up.
FACULTY AND STAFF (Regular Part Time)
Regular part time employees are required to purchase a parking permit.
OTHERS
Student teachers, student employees, and graduate assistants do not qualify for faculty/staff parking permits. Students from extended campuses must pick up a student temporary permit at Public Safety when on the Murray campus.
***Students, faculty or staff returning to campus without their assigned parking permit must pick up a temporary permit for that day or the duration of their need as approved by the parking supervisor.***
