Do's and Don'ts

• DO contact the Murray State University Parking Office with parking questions at (270) 809-4812 or email us.  Other sources of information may be unreliable.
  
• DO observe the signs in each lot.  The signs will indicate what type of permit is required there.  All vehicles parking on campus must have a current permit (visitors included).
  
• DO update your permit information with the Parking Office, when changing vehicles or license plates.
  
• DO familiarize yourself with all the parking regulations.  If you drive on campus, this is your responsibility.

• DO contact Public Safety immediately if permit is lost, misplaced, left, or stolen to get replacement.
  
• DON'T assume that because others have parked illegally you may do so.
  
• DON'T park on yellow lines, fire lanes, etc. with your hazard lights on, this will not prevent you from receiving a citation.

• DON'T park in a disability space without a Murray State University issued disability permit.
