• All motor vehicles parking on the NDSU campus are required to have a valid NDSU parking permit and must meet North Dakota Motor Vehicle Department requirements. Faculty, staff and students may purchase one parking permit per academic year. NDSU parking permits are the property of NDSU.
• Purchase of a parking permit does not guarantee the holder a parking space. Faculty/staff refer to your parking permit for overflow location(s). Overflow lot is only valid if your assigned lot is full.
• Students moving from NDSU housing must surrender or exchange their parking permit. Failure to do so may result in loss of campus parking privileges.
• The annual parking fee for full-time or part-time students (undergraduate, graduate, research assistants) and full-time or part-time faculty/staff (adjunct lecture, postdoctoral, visiting scholars) is set by Facilities Management after review by the Campus Space and Facilities Committee of the University Senate. There is a charge for replacement of lost permits. NDSU permits are honored on any vehicle you choose to drive to campus.
• It is preferred the permit be hung on the rearview mirror, but alternatively it can be displayed on the driver side dashboard. Improperly displaying your permit, even if parking in your assigned lot, will result in a citation being issued. Permits must be fully visible to be valid.
• Students who leave the university before the end of the regular school year, or who no longer need to park on campus, may be eligible for a possible prorated refund. Refunds will follow the academic calendar date on the last day to withdraw to zero credits. Refunds will be issued only to the registered owner of the permit, and the permit must be returned to the Campus Parking Office.
• Falsifying registration information, reproducing, defacing, forging, altering, obscuring, transferring, and/or retaining and using a found permit will be subject to revocation of the parking permit and/or disciplinary action. The vehicle also may be subject to impoundment; criminal charges and/or university sanctions may be filed against the owner/operator.

• Permanently disabled persons who want to use university-designated handicapped parking areas must obtain a State Handicapped Permit from the Department of Motor Vehicles in Fargo, N.D., 282-5070. Handicapped permits must be displayed in conjunction with a valid NDSU permit. Valid NDSU permits do not include Park and Ride, Athletic or any other permit not issued through the Campus Parking Office. Handicapped spaces in paystation lots do not require an additional NDSU permit, but do require payment to the paystations. Please refer to the campus map in this brochure for designated area.
  
  Persons with short-term disabilities (six weeks maximum) may purchase an accessible parking permit (for NDSU property only) at the Campus Parking Office. Appropriate written verification of need from your physician is required.
