B. Purchasing a Permit

PLEASE NOTE THE POLICY CHANGE BELOW

ALL student vehicles parked on campus must have a valid parking permit (decal) permanently affixed to the lower right corner of the left-side rear window. Parking permits obtained during the fall term are valid in the spring term. A student entering for the first time in the spring term must obtain a fall/spring parking permit. A new parking permit must be obtained for the summer term. There will be a ONE week grace period at the beginning of the semester before summonses will be issued.

Note: The New Jersey Division of Taxation passed legislation that requires New Jersey Colleges and Universities to access, collect, and remit a seven percent (7%) sales tax on parking fees charged to students who live OFF-CAMPUS. Students living on-campus are exempt from the tax.

Note: If a student chooses to park a vehicle on campus without a valid parking permit, they risk being issued a summons and/or booting or towing of the vehicle at the violators own expense.
