Vehicles Registration
Please register your vehicle within 3 days of arrival to avoid paying tickets for “unauthorized” parking or for failure to register. To obtain a parking permit, visit Campus Safety to pre-approve you for a permit category. You will be given an instruction page along with a campus map. The instructions will direct you to www.thepermitstore.com. When it asks for the parking destination, enter "Southern".
