Department Work Permit (DWP)

The Department Work Permit (DWP) helps NDSU employees park closer while conducting official campus business.

Departments may request up to two DWP permits at no charge. Additional permits are $50 each and must be paid through SSI Inter-Departmental Billing (IDB).

A valid NDSU permit (excluding FargoDome and BL-lot permits) must be displayed with the DWP. Together, they allow parking in employee, student, and pay lots for up to two consecutive hours in marked spaces.

DWP permits are not valid on campus streets, fire lanes, accessible spaces, reserved spaces, state fleet areas, or time-restricted zones.

NDSU may revoke DWP permits for misuse. Departments may not create or distribute their own permits.

Before ordering, confirm that your department needs a DWP, as most NDSU employee permits already allow access to additional campus and downtown lots.

• All NDSU employee permits (excluding FargoDome and BL-Lot permits) are valid in the Research Park (RP) lots.
• All NDSU main campus employee permits (excluding FargoDome and BL-Lot permits) are valid in the downtown lots (BH, KH, RH & ELIM).
• All NDSU downtown employee permits are valid in the green main campus employee lots.
