The Physical Plant is responsible for enforcing the rules and regulations concerning parking on campus. We strive to enforce the parking rules as fairly as possible.

Finding Authorized Space: Drivers are responsible for finding authorized parking space. Lack of parking space, mechanical problems, inclement weather or other disabilities do not justify parking violations.

Space Availability: A parking permit does not guarantee the holder a parking space but only the opportunity to park within a specified area or areas. (See map.)

Permit Display: Tags must be displayed on the front windshield drivers side with the tag number facing to the outside when parking on DSU campus. A permit is not considered valid unless properly displayed on the vehicle.

Permit Ownership: A parking permit signifies an individual has been granted the privilege of parking on University property.

Parking Regulations: In general, parking is prohibited: without a valid parking permit; in "No Parking" areas; in handicapped spaces without proper University permit; blocking fire lanes; fire exits (noted with yellow painted curb); blocking doorways; in loading zones unless actually loading. Flashers must be on and vehicle must be moved within 15-minute time period. Parking regulations are in effect five (5) days a week, Monday - Friday, 6 a.m. - 5 p.m. The owner/operator is responsible for parking violations.
