There are three (3) "C" spaces on campus, one (1) space in each A, K, and F which are signed for wheelchairs only.

Hang tags must be hung from rear view mirror and all vehicles must either be properly registered with Parking Services or display a valid visitor parking permit. 

Handicap parking spaces have been redesigned to comply with Federal Regulations. If an area is full, please go to another area. (Do not park in visitors, employee, fire lanes or the striped areas between handicapped spaces.) Violators will be towed at owner/operator's expense.

If your health problem improves and you no longer need preferential parking, please let the Parking Services Office know. Also be sure to keep your records updated at Health Services.

Parking in handicapped parking areas is a privilege, please do not abuse this privilege.
