Before you purchase a parking permit, know these expectations. Parking on campus is a privilege, not a right, and may be denied at the discretion of the Administration. By purchasing a parking permit, you are stating your intention to attend school over 90% of the days, be on time on the days you attend school, to drive the vehicle you registered, and to follow the rules below. If your parking privileges are removed, NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN! Stickers are $20.
Parking lot violations
Violations may lead to loss of parking privileges/other disciplinary action:

Canine searches
Random searches will be conducted by the canine unit. If a canine alerts on your vehicle, you will be called to the AP office and escorted to the parking lot. A trained canine officer will search your car for any prohibited substance. You will be held responsible for the contents of your vehicle!
What if I have to drive a different car from the one with the permit? (Rule #8)
If only temporarily, go to the AP office and fill out the “Temporary Parking” log sheet. You will print your name, ID number, and Parking Permit/Parking Space number on a list. This notifies them that the car in your space that day does belong there. If you have permanently changed cars, and need a new sticker, come to the Assistant Principal’s Office. You will need to bring the old sticker, or what you can of the old one, to get a replacement. If you are unable to bring in the old sticker you will need to purchase a new sticker. The charge is three dollars ($10.00).
If someone has parked in your space
Do not simply take someone else’s space. Park in Row “N” (back row of Stadium Lot) and come immediately to the AP office. You will fill out the “Temporary Parking” log sheet and indicate that you are on row “N”. Parking Violators may have their vehicles towed or “booted.” The cost to have a “boot” removed is $20.00, and it is even more expensive to recover a vehicle that has been towed. The parking attendant will check a different section of the parking lot every day, to verify that each car has a permit and that the permit is on the correct, registered car.
