Student Permits and Fees

On-Campus Residents
This green permit which costs $150 for the academic year, is available to students residing in any form of campus housing.  The number of permits sold is limited by the number of student parking stalls available. The GREEN permit is valid for any student lot (P6, P12, P13, P16, P17, and the lot located on 6th Street) except the red Preferred Parking spaces in P6.

Preferred Parking Permits are $375 for the academic year and allow parking in the Preferred Parking Area at the north end of the P6 Third St. South Lot. The number of red preferred parking permits issued equals the spaces available in the Preferred Parking Area. 

After the start of the academic year, students who want to bring a vehicle to campus must verify with the parking office that a permit is still available. Any vehicles that arrive on campus without a permit could be towed to an off-site storage area. A student permit identifies the vehicle as one being legal to park on campus but does not guarantee a parking spot for any specific space or lot. Parking within any student lot is on a first-come, first-serve basis. 

If you are on campus fall semester but studying abroad spring semester or graduating in December, you will need to request an annual parking permit when your date for permit registration opens. After fall semester and before you leave, you must return your permit to the parking office and your account will be credited half the cost of the permit.

If you are studying abroad fall semester, do not request a parking permit for the fall semester. You will be able to request a parking permit for your vehicle starting two weeks before classes begin for the spring semester. 

Student teachers, if you will need a vehicle for your student teaching the second semester, you must apply for and purchase it now – even if you do not need a vehicle until the second semester. 

Overnight Parking Programs, the parking office has semester-long parking programs set up for students with an off-campus internship, student teaching, athletic requirements, job, etc. to be able to use specific commuter lots for overnight parking. Vehicles granted into the program must be removed from the lot by 7:30 a.m. and not returned until after 3:30 p.m. Any vehicle that remains after 7:30 a.m. will be issued a Not Parked in Assigned Lot ($20) ticket. The programs have a strict set of rules and guidelines that MUST be followed in order for the programs to continue. For more information about the available programs and to be considered for a program, email your interest to the parking office at parking@snc.edu. Students who park in the commuter lots after 2 a.m. and who are NOT part of a specific program will be ticketed for No Overnight Parking ($50).

College Houses
Residents at college-owned houses must register their vehicle for a free academic year green permit. The permit allows you to park in your house driveway. Should your vehicle not fit in your driveway or in the event that you are asked to move your vehicle if access to the garage is requested, the permit also allows residents to park in ANY student lot on campus except the red Preferred Parking spaces in P6.  College House Parking Policy

All vehicles parked in your driveway must display a valid year permit or they will be issued a ticket for an unregistered vehicle violation.

You can not park or drive on the lawn. Your entire vehicle (all four wheels) must be parked on the paved or gravel driveway. The sidewalk may not be blocked by any part of your vehicle. The parking office has the right to charge each resident a $30 parked on the grass fine if there is evidence of vehicles driving or parking on the lawn. 

Commuter Students
This is a blue permit at a cost of $150 for the academic year. Commuter students are defined as students who live at home with their family/guardian or live in off-campus housing. The BLUE permit is available for any lot signed as Employee/Commuter (P3, P4, P5, P8, P9, P15) and any resident student lot on campus (P6, P12, P13, P16, P17 and the lot located on 6th Street) except the red Preferred Parking Area in the P6 lot. If you apply for a commuter permit you must have a local address on file with Residential Education and Housing.
