Rule 681-4.30 - Parking privileges

Students and employees may be granted parking privileges on the campus in accordance with these rules and upon reasonable terms and conditions as may be established by the manager. An application for parking privileges may be denied if the applicant has fines for parking violations that are unpaid and past the appeal date set by these rules.

(1)Students. Students will be granted parking privileges in parking facilities designated for student use. Optional plans and facilities may be offered as established by the manager. Reasonable classifications may be established on the basis of a student's age, class, college or department, course load, proximity of residence to the campus, physical disability, employment, the availability of facilities, or any other relevant criterion to determine the eligibility of students for parking privileges or any optional plan or facility.

(2)Employees. Employees will be granted parking privileges in parking facilities designated for employee use. Optional plans and facilities may be offered as established by the manager. Reasonable classifications may be established on the basis of an employee's job classification, length of service, place of work or the nature thereof, physical disability, the availability of facilities, or any other relevant criterion to determine the priority of employees for assignment of parking privileges or any optional plan or facility.

(3)Visitors. Visitors may be granted parking privileges in parking facilities designated for visitor parking. Optional plans and facilities may be offered as established by the manager. Reasonable classifications may be established on the basis of the time, duration or purpose of visit, physical disability, the availability of facilities, or any other relevant criterion to determine the eligibility of visitors for parking privileges or any optional plan or facility.

(4)Persons with disabilities. Persons with disabilities will be granted parking privileges in parking facilities designated for use by persons with disabilities. Persons must present a currently valid department of transportation parking permit for persons with disabilities to obtain the campus permit. Parking facilities designated for persons with disabilities shall be so regulated all hours of all days.

(5)Procedure. Applications for parking privileges shall be submitted in the manner prescribed by the manager. No student shall apply for parking privileges for any vehicle owned or actually maintained by another student. The manager shall determine the eligibility and priority of each applicant for parking privileges within the classifications established in 4.30(1), 4.30(2) and 4.30(3) and shall make parking assignments. A parking permit will be issued to each applicant who is granted parking privileges, and the permit shall be displayed on the vehicle in the manner prescribed by the manager. Parking permits are not transferable. The unauthorized possession, use, alteration, forging or counterfeiting of a parking permit, or any portion thereof, is prohibited. Parking privileges will not be granted to a student and to an employee or visitor for the same vehicle, and a student parking permit and an employee or visitor parking permit shall not be displayed on the same vehicle. Temporary parking permits may be issued to accommodate special situations. The manager shall adopt a procedure to replace lost, stolen and destroyed parking permits and controlled access entry cards.

(6)Parking fees. The university may assess and collect from students, employees, and visitors reasonable fees or charges for parking privileges and the use of parking facilities. The amount of these fees and charges shall be approved by the state board of regents. A schedule of all parking fees and charges shall be published and available for inspection during normal business hours in the office of the manager and in the office of the state board of regents. Parking fees and charges may be assessed and collected on an annual, semester, monthly, daily, or hourly basis. Parking fees and charges may be added to student tuition bills and may by agreement be withheld from the salaries or wages of employees by payroll deduction. Parking fees and charges may be collected by means of parking meters or toll houses. Use of any parking facility constitutes an implied agreement to pay the prescribed fee or charge therefor.

(7)University business. Special parking privileges may be granted for vehicles being used on official university business on the conditions and in the manner prescribed by the manager.

(8)Responsibility. Any person who maintains, operates, or owns a vehicle which is on the campus or in whose name the vehicle is registered or parking privileges have been granted is responsible for the proper parking of the vehicle at all times and for all parking violations involving the vehicle.

(9)Liability. Parking privileges granted hereunder constitute a license to use university parking facilities and do not constitute a lease of the facilities or a bailment of the vehicle by the university. Use of university parking facilities is at the owner's or applicant's risk, and the university shall not be liable or responsible for loss of or damage to any vehicle parked on the campus.

(10)Revocation. Parking privileges on the campus may be revoked by the manager for good cause at any time upon five days' written notice and refund of any advance payment of parking fees or charges on a pro rata basis for the revoked period.
