2007-2008 Parking Rules and Regulations

5. Parking permits

5.0 Parking assignees may purchase only one (1) permit per person, per academic year. Upon payment of the scheduled fee, parking assignees will receive a repositionable inside-the-car window sticker, which shall be valid only when displayed correctly. Application of the sticker contrary to the instructions will result in a violation notice for "No Valid Permit." During times when the lots are being controlled, a parking permit entitles the assignee to park only in zones or lots designated by the permit with the exceptions noted in these regulations.

Ownership and use of parking permits are not transferable to any other person. Permits are not to be resold.

5.1 Annual parking permits expire July 31, unless purchased for a shorter period. Faculty and staff must have new permits purchased and in place by August 1. Student permits must be in place by the first day of class. Parking permits are either color coded by zones or coded as to particular lots.

(permit numbers readable). Persons unable to comply with this requirement shall be required pay a prorated price for a replacement permit.

5.4 Lost or stolen parking permits. The University cannot be responsible for lost or stolen permits. Replacement permits can be secured only by purchasing a new permit at a prorated fee.

Any vehicle displaying a lost/stolen, forged or altered permit is subject to criminal charges, a fine and towing at the owner's expense.

5.5 Revocation of parking privileges. KU Parking & Transit has a no tolerance policy on cheating. If you forge, alter, or steal any form of parking authorization, or use or display a permit that you have not purchased from the department, your parking privileges will be revoked for one (1) year, and a letter requesting disciplinary action will be sent to the Dean of Students or Human Resources.
