Faculty and Staff are personnel employed by the university on or off campus areas. For the purpose of the regulations, visiting professors, cooperative extension advisors, cooperating teachers and administrators, part-time adjunct faculty, part-time staff, summer faculty/staff and others deemed appropriate by the university are considered faculty/staff.
Students
A student is any individual other than faculty/staff, who is enrolled at the University.
- Student Parking: Students are only permitted to park in student parking areas, not in faculty/staff parking areas.
- Handicap Parking: A state issued handicap placard is required in order to park in handicap spaces. However, if there is a need for temporary handicap parking, a physician’s note will be required and a special temporary pass will be issued. Handicap parking is on a first come first serve basis.
- Night & Evening Parking: Parking on campus is open to visitors each evening from 6pm-5am and all day on weekends until 5am Monday morning.
