Parking Regulations 2023-2024
Important Notice
Due to construction and policy changes at North Greenville University, North Greenville University Office of Campus Safety and Security reserves the right to change or add to these Parking Regulations to better accommodate parking and traffic for students, faculty, staff, and visitors at any time. Proper e-mail and other notices will be sent before these changes take effect.
These regulations are applicable to all members of the campus community, including students, faculty, staff, vendors, and visitors.
North Greenville University is a walking campus. Resident students are encouraged to and should park near their dorm and walk to their desired location.
Purchasing a Parking Permit
Everyone is required to clearly display a valid NGU parking permit, in the correct placement, on their vehicle while parked or otherwise stationary for an extended amount of time on any property owned and operated by North Greenville University.
-
Faculty and Staff
Permits are available for faculty and staff members at no charge at the Campus Safety and Security office. Faculty and staff members may have as many permits as needed.
-
Students
Students are required to purchase a parking permit each school year. Permits are valid from August 1, 2023, through July 31, 2024. Currently, single-semester or half-year permits are not available.
Parking Permits cost $70.00. Students who wish to have two cars on campus may do so but must purchase a second permit online at a cost of $10.00.
If a student wishes to purchase his or her permit with a credit or debit card, visit https://www.permitsales.net/NGU. If a student is unable to purchase his or her permit with a credit or debit card, the student may pay for the permit at the Business Office by other means.
If a student serves as a Student Leadership Team member (“RA”) or Community Director (“CD”), he or she is entitled to one free permit. If an Student Leadership Team member or Community Director wishes to have two vehicles on campus, a second permit may be purchased for $10.00.
If a student serves as a Student Leadership Team (SLT) Community Leader, they are entitled to one free permit. If a Community Leader wishes to have two vehicles on campus, a second permit may be purchased for $10.00.
Student vehicles with a North Greenville “NU” vanity license plate (see picture) are required to register their vehicles with Campus Security and are entitled to receive one free parking permit.
By purchasing or accepting a permit, a student is acknowledging that he or she understands and agrees to abide by the parking regulations. Furthermore, he or she agrees that failure to obey these regulations will result in a ticket for which he or she will be financially responsible.
In the event a student is unable to purchase a permit due to financial difficulties, a student may bring documentation of that difficulty to the Campus Security Office to make other arrangements for purchasing a parking permit. All requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
If a student does not possess a vehicle that will be kept on campus, the student is not required to purchase a parking permit. If a student has a vehicle that will be on campus and chooses not to purchase the required permit, they are subjected to all fines/penalties issued by the Campus Safety and Security Office.
-
Motorcycle Permits
Individuals who wish to have a motorcycle, “street legal” dirt bike, moped, or motorized scooter on campus must purchase a motorcycle permit. Motorcycle permits follow the same pricing structure as standard vehicle permits. Motorcycles must obey all parking and traffic regulations and should be parked in the student’s designated area.
-
Married Housing Permits
Married students living on campus must purchase “Married Housing” permits. They may use the family discount of purchasing one permit at $70.00 and the second permit at $10.00.
Married students living off campus must purchase regular commuter permits. They may use the family discount of purchasing one permit at $70.00 and the second permit at $10.00.
-
Temporary Medical Permits
NGU Medical permits are issued to students with a temporary or permanent medical condition who do not otherwise qualify for a state-mandated handicapped parking permit, plaque, or license plate (such as a broken foot, a temporary illness, etc.). Students wishing to obtain a medical permit may do so by bringing a note from their doctor stating their need for special parking and the length of time for the permit to the Office of Campus Safety and Security office. (Note: a medical permit does not negate the need for a current year permit.) Students with a medical permit may legally park in any yellow, white, or blue lined parking space on campus convenient to the buildings they need to access. Students with an NGU medical permit may not park in the off-campus state-mandated handicapped parking spaces.
-
Family Permits and Discounts
If two students are members of the same household, they must purchase one $70.00 permit and the other may purchase their permit for $10.00. Students wishing to purchase two permits this way must be siblings residing in the same home or married students. Any student under 18 years of age at the time of enrollment must discuss the parking regulations with a parent or guardian at the time a permit is purchased.
-
Dual Enrollment Students
Dual Enrollment Students are charged a $15.00 fee which is added to their bill by the registrar’s office. Dual Enrollment Students must come into the Campus Safety and Security Office during normal business hours to apply for their dual enrollment permit.
