As of today, you must get your parking permit or risk a ticked

Parking tickets will be issued to all students, faculty and staff vehicles that do not display valid university-issued parking decals. This policy went into effect Thursday.

Permits must be purchased at the Cashier’s Window in Long-Jones Hall room 171. Call (318) 274-2671 for more information. The student parking decal fee is $14 and the faculty/staff parking decal fee is $30. 

To register a vehicle, one must show proof of insurance and a driver’s license. The decal will be valid until Aug. 31, 2020. 

There are designated lots for faculty/staff, commuting students and on-campus students. Commuter lots are marked with white paint, and faculty/staff lots are marked with yellow paint. On-campus students are not allowed to drive to class between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. so they must remain parked at their dormitories.

Designated commuter parking is on: Dickerson Street between Charles P. Adams and Woodson, south side of Cole Street facing Charles P. Adams, the front row of Charles P. Adams Hall facing RWE Jones Drive, the A.C. Lewis Memorial Library side, Blalock Street where the white paint starts behind the basketball court and at the Performing Arts building, on the left side facing the building. 

Tickets will be issued for the following violations: parking on any lawn or grassy area, parking in a No Parking Zone, unlawfully parking in an accessible parking spot or blocking a campus dumpster or walkway.

For more information on campus vehicle requirements and parking guidelines, visit the Campus Traffic Information page on the GSU website.
