Parking
All vehicle operators must display a parking permit on their vehicle when parking in designated parking areas. Hurlburt Center location does not require permits.
- Parking permits are available at no charge.
- Each vehicle must be registered under student’s online account.
- Permits may only be used for registered vehicles.
- Parking is permitted in designated areas only:
- Student Parking – White Lines
- Faculty/Staff Parking – Yellow Lines
- Disabled Person Parking – Blue Lines

I’m only parking on campus for the day. Can I get a temporary parking pass?
Temporary parking permits are available free of charge. Temporary permit must be placed on the driver side dashboard of the vehicle. Temporary permits can be requested online or acquired by visiting your local ID card office and are valid until indicated date.
Where do I display my permit?
Hang tag permits should be displayed in your rear view mirror. If you drive a motorcycle, place the decal on the ride side of the front fork. If you are a visitor and parking only temporarily, place the permit in your driver’s side dash. You may also place your permit here if the pass does not fit your rear view mirror. The permit must be visible from the outside.
Citations
You have 30 days from date of citation to file an appeal. You can appeal a citation by visiting the PermitSales site.
The Student Traffic Court convenes, as needed, to adjudicate appeals of parking violations for students. After traffic court deliberation, results are emailed to your registered email.
Common Reasons for Unsuccessful Appeals
Running late for class, being “unaware” of parking rules, forgetting to display your permit, following the parking patterns of other vehicles, or never having received a ticket in the past are typically invalid reasons for appealing a ticket.
Unpaid Citations
Financial holds are placed on student account for all unpaid citations. Financial holds prevent registration and the release of records.
