Students – Registration Holds for Unpaid Parking Fines
As the registration window for Fall 2025 will be opening soon, please log into your parking account at https://tcnj.aimsparking.com/ to be sure all outstanding parking fines are paid in full. Unpaid parking fines will result in a registration hold being placed on your PAWS account.
Ordering Student Parking Permits
Spring 2025 parking permits are now available! Please refer to the campus-wide email sent on January 7, 2025 for ordering and permit instructions. Please remember that failure to obtain your processed permit does not result in a refund. Refunds may be requested and granted until the end of the registration Add/Drop period for the semester in which the permit was purchased.
Please note: Only ONE annual decal or TWO semester only permits (one for Fall, one for Spring) can be ordered per academic year. After ordering your permit, if you switch cars or there is a change to your residency status resulting in your need for a different permit, please notify Parking Services to arrange for an exchange of your original permit.

Lack of Valid Decal Ticketing – Spring 2025 and Parking Lot Gates
Lack of valid decal ticketing in student parking lots for the Spring 2025 semester will resume on Sunday, February 2, 2025 at 9:01pm. All other violations will be enforced by Campus Police at all times. Faculty and staff are expected to park in their assigned lots with the appropriate permit affixed to their vehicle. A gate in the upright position does not grant access to all vehicles, only those with the assigned permit for that parking lot.
Ordering Faculty/Staff Permits
Employee parking permit 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/
Vehicles parked in a campus parking lot that has been closed by the college for a dedicated reason are subject to being towed at the owner’s expense.
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 permit 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.
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.
