Student Parking Permits
At the beginning of each semester, all students may qualify for the privilege of bringing a car on campus by signing the appropriate agreement, paying the parking permit fee, and displaying a numbered decal.
Decals for students dining in residence halls and commuting students must be affixed permanently with the decal’s adhesive to the rear window of the car. Decals may not be taped to the rear window.
Decals for apartment residents must be affixed to the front windshield of the car. Forms and decals may be obtained from Campus Police.

Contact Campus Police at (919) 760-8888 for more information.

Parking Permit Fees
Annual residence hall permit - $175
Annual apartment resident permit - $175
Annual undergraduate commuter permit - $100
Annual graduate commuter permit - $75

Permits are payable each fall. Refunds will be prorated by semester. A student who does not have a vehicle registered may purchase a temporary permit for $1.00 per day for a period not to exceed two weeks. The temporary permit must be for a specific need and is not intended for the purpose of avoiding the purchase of a permanent permit.

Contact Campus Police at (919) 760-8888 for more information.

  appeal form at Campus Police. All appeals must be submitted within 15 calendar days from date of offense. A lack of knowledge of parking rules will not be considered as a valid appeal.

Parking Ticket Appeals

No warning tickets are given. Parking fines are $25; fines for parking in handicapped and fire lanes are $50; Auto-boot and towing fines are $50. Unregistered cars will be Auto-booted and will not be released until all fines are paid. (An Auto-boot is a device that clamps to the wheel of a car. Attempts to move a car with an Auto-boot will result in serious damage to the car.)

Anyone receiving a parking ticket that she may think is unwarranted may appeal the ticket with the Parking Director. An appeal form is available at the Campus Police Office. Appeals must be submitted within 15 days of the date of the violation.
