Spring Break Parking

Ticketing will be suspended in all commuter parking lots for lack of valid decal only from Friday, March 8th at 5pm until Sunday, March 17th at 9pm. Commuter parking lots are lots 5, 6, 7, 17. All other violations in these lots as well as all other parking lots will be enforced.

Spring 2024

Ticketing for lack of valid decal will begin on Sunday, January 28, 2024 at 9:01pm. All other parking violations will be enforced by Campus Police daily.

Citation Appeal Form Has Gone Electronic

As of December 6, 2023, all parking citation appeals will be submitted online using our Citation Appeals Form.

Paper or emailed appeals will not be accepted.

 

Lack of Valid Decal Ticketing and Parking Lot Gates

Lack of valid decal ticketing will continue to be enforced and lots will be patrolled as usual by Campus Police. Faculty and staff are expected to park in their assigned lots with the appropriate decal affixed to their vehicle. A gate in the upright position does not grant access to all vehicles, only those with the assigned decal for that parking lot.

Ordering Student Parking Decals 

Upper class residential students and commuters may order their parking decal be logging into the “CARS login” on the right side of the Parking Service homepage.

Please note: Only ONE annual decal or TWO semester only decals (one for Fall, one for Spring) can be ordered per academic year.  After ordering your decal, if you switch cars or there is a change to your residency status resulting in your need for a different decal, please notify Parking Services to arrange for an exchange of your original decal.

Ordering Faculty/Staff Decals

Employee parking decal ordering is available at all times.  Click the “CARS login” on the right side of the web page.

Faculty and staff are reminded to park in the designated Faculty/Staff parking lots

 

The College offers 10 electric vehicle charging stations in the Metzger Garage, Lot 7. These are available to those members of the campus community. For further information, please visit https://evcharging.tcnj.edu/

 

Parking Services is committed to providing The College of New Jersey campus community with efficient customer service and the best possible solutions to meet your transportation needs. This site will help you find the information you need to make parking on campus easier.

Parking Services and Campus Police would like to remind all faculty, staff, and students that they are required to park in the lot(s) to which they are assigned at all times. Parking in a lot or space without proper decal or pass can result in ticketing and/or towing.

Please be reminded that a parking lot gate in the raised position is not an indication that parking is permitted. Also, the use of hazard lights or flashers does not authorize parking in front of a building or in any designated space.

Parking System

The college has a web-based parking system called Campus Automobile Registration System (CARS). This system allows students, faculty, and staff to order decals online, print out a temporary dashboard permit so you will automatically have a valid permit, as well as monitor and/or appeal parking citations.

A training video on how to use CARS can be found here: Ordering Decal Demonstration

Please see the Parking Services menu (across the top of the page) for additional information on parking. You may also email your questions to the Parking Manager at: parking@tcnj.edu or call 609-771-3144 or 609-771-2172.
