Beginning with the Fall 2025 semester, our new and improved electronic permitting system along with License Plate Recognition (LPR) eliminates the need for a physical permit. No more worrying about properly displaying your parking permit or picking up new permits for replacement vehicles. You will not receive a parking decal or placard this year. This latest technology will allow for your license plate to be your parking permit!
When a vehicle is parked on campus, the license plate is read by LPR readers mounted on a designated campus police vehicle or by a handheld reader operated by Campus Police. LPR works like a supermarket scanner with your license plate functioning as the barcode. When read, the numbers of your plate are automatically referenced against the parking database to verify proper parking privileges for the parking location. You are still required to follow all of our parking rules and regulations at all times to avoid being ticketed.
All motorists must now park with your license plate facing the drive lane. Because LPR technology only works if a license plate can be read by the LPR readers, it is imperative that your license plate always face the drive lane. If your state does not issue a front plate, you cannot back into a parking space. You are subject to being ticketed if your vehicle is parked without the license plate facing the drive lane of traffic.
