Parking Management

It helps us to distinguish between faculty and staff, students, and visitors, and allows us to enforce the reserved areas and keep them open for those who need them. The permits also allow us to identify individual vehicles for the purpose of providing security to those on campus at any given moment, as well as to provide courtesy services (to notify; those who may accidentally leave their lights on, owners of vehicles who may have rolled out of a parking stall, etc).

Online on the parking permit page or at the Cashier’s Office, Holland Centennial Commons/Library – 1st floor (cash/check only).

Vehicle license plate number(s), make, model, color, and Dixie ID number (Student/Faculty/Staff)

NOTE: It is the responsibility of each DSU employee and student to keep parking registration up to date.

Students taking classes online will still need to purchase a parking permit if they wish to use campus facilities, such as the HPC and Library. As a reminder, per policy, all student motor vehicles parked on campus must bear a current, valid parking permit (53B-3-107).

Yes. All permit types are accepted in the Economy lots.

In the case of part-time student workers, your student status takes precedence allowing for a Student or Student/Housing permit only, which are white-marked stalls.

If you are parking in a motorcycle stall a permit is not needed, however, if parking in a regular vehicle space a permit must be purchased and on file – permit hang tags do not need to be displayed on the motorcycle or moped.

No. Visitor spaces are reserved for those that are not currently enrolled or employed by the university. Students, faculty, and staff are not permitted to use these stalls any time for any length of time. These stalls are constantly monitored and any student, faculty, and staff vehicle found parked in a Visitor stall will receive a citation for Parking in a Reserved Zone or Parking Stall.

To show valid need to temporarily park in a no parking zone to load/unload, leave your emergency flashers on for the duration. This indicates you will return shortly to move the vehicle.

If you have purchased a new vehicle and/or are no longer using a vehicle associated with your permit, please submit a Parking Permit Update Form. Upon approval, you will be notified via email your account has been updated.

NOTE: It is the responsibility of each DSU employee and student to keep parking registration with Parking Management up to date. Second vehicles must be registered to the same owner.

No. The permit hang tag is for the exclusive use only to the person it was issued to. It may not be sold or transferred to anyone else. Unauthorized sharing or altering of the permit will result in citing the vehicle, and such a case will be no defense upon appeal.

Parking Management offers temporary hangtags for loaner vehicles to students and employees whose vehicles are being repaired if they have a valid, current permit on file. Please visit the Parking Office in the Facilities Management building; they will issue you one at no cost.

For on-campus housing residents, overnight parking is allowed in the parking lots east of Nisson Towers and Campus View Suites II, and lower North Plaza (Lot G, H and X). Note: housing and overnight parking is not permitted in the lots west of Campus View Suites I and vehicles will be cited for Overnight/Improper Zone parking.

For department and class trips, please call or email the parking office at least one week in advance as lots close occasionally for events – we will work with you and your group regarding lot location and information to give travelers.

Each citation is entered into a computer database that tracks them. If a citation is not cleared by an appeal filed within 15 days or by payment within 30 days of issue, a $25 late fee will be charged. If the citation is not cleared, it goes to a delinquent fines list. Students who have not cleared citations will be subject to a registration, graduation, and/or transcript hold. In the case that the owner/driver of a vehicle is not a student, staff, or faculty, the registered owner of the vehicle will be responsible for the citation.

All funds go towards institutional building and infrastructure improvement projects, addition and completion of new parking lots, funding our first parking garage – as this is not allocated by the state and must be put forth by the institution, and parking lot improvements and maintenance (paint, signage, curbing, resurfacing, software, equipment, media, etc.)
