Parking Question 1

Category: Parking at the University

Do I need a parking permit to park on campus?

A valid permit must be properly registered and displayed at all times while parked at the University of Portland. A new permit is needed each academic school year. Guest permits for short term parking are also available. Permits may be obtained from the Department of Campus Safety. 

The University of Portland may revoke a parking permit or refuse to issue a parking permit without prior notice. Parking Permits may be revoked, denied, or not renewed for nonpayment of parking fines, multiple violations, or obtaining a permit by false information.

The University issues a variety of parking permit types. Each type of permit authorizes the holder to park only in specified parking areas. Parking permits are non-transferable and only allowed for use with the vehicle they are registered to. Types of permits and authorized parking areas are as follows:

"S" Permit

Issued to students. Authorizes parking in any legal, non-reserved parking space on campus except for the Waldschmidt lot.

"E" Permit

Issued to faculty/staff employees for general parking only. Parking in the Waldschmidt lot and reserved parking is prohibited. 

"W" Permit

Authorizes parking in Waldschmidt Hall Lot or any area authorized by an "E" permit holder. If there is a yellow "Reserved" sticker, this authorizes parking in reserved Waldschmidt Hall parking spaces. 

DISABLED PARKING INFORMATION

Disabled parking spaces are to be used only by vehicles prominently displaying appropriate identification as described in ORS 811.602. Drivers without a disabled parking permit may be cited for stopping or blocking a disabled parking space which includes the striped spaces adjacent to the disabled space.
