In order to accommodate the parking needs of the University
community, the Department of Public Safety has developed a Parking
Program. All members of the University community who wish to park
on-campus must have an appropriate parking permit
issued by Public Safety. Parking on-campus is not an entitlement
and is limited by available parking space. Parking privileges can
be refused or revoked at the discretion of the University. When a
person accepts a permit, he or she does so with the following
understanding:
- The purchase of a permit gives the University members the right
to park on-campus, in designated parking areas based on
availability. The purchase of a permit does not guarantee a parking
space on the campus.
- The acceptance by any person of a parking permit,whether
temporary or permanent, shall constitute the acceptance of the
Parking Rules and Regulations.
- All parking patrons park their vehicles on-campus at their own
risk. The University is not responsible for the theft of any
vehicle, its contents, or for damage sustained by a vehicle parked
on-campus property.
- All vehicles not bearing a proper University parking permit are
subject to parking violations.
- Vehicles noncompliant with the Parking Rules and Regulations or
vehicles with multiple/recurring parking violations may be
immobilized or towed away at the owner's expense.
- Parking a vehicle on University ground is a privilege that may
be granted and revoked by the University. The University is
authorized and reserves the right to regulate the use of any and
all of its vehicle parking facilities for the exclusive use of
designated groups or individuals.
- Parking Rules and Regulations must be observed at all times
including exam periods, registration, summer sessions and inclement
weather. Any information contained within the booklet is subject to
change.
Who Should Have A Permit?
All vehicles parking on University grounds (including off-campus
housing) must display an appropriate parking permit issued by the
Department of Public Safety and may park only in authorized parking
areas. This includes administrators, commuter students, food
service employees, Murray Residence, faculty members, and
maintenance employees, off-campus housing students, residence
village students, staff members and any visitors or outside
vendors.
University members or non University members who park their
vehicles off-campus and in areas adjacent to the campus are
cautioned to respect the privacy of the neighborhood and to
ensure that driveways are not blocked.
They are advised to refrain from littering around or near
neighborhood homes. All campus regulations also apply to the
Auxiliary Lot located outside Gate 9 bounded by Utopia Parkway and
the service road of Grand Central Parkway. There is no parking
permitted on any grass areas of 82nd Avenue between Gate 7 and Gate
9 and the North Side of 170th Street between Goethals Avenue and
Union Turnpike.
