Log into the portal and request a permit. 
 
You must enter your permanent license plate number. What if I only have a temporary plate: 

- If the number will stay the same, register it normally.
- If the number will change, use IDAHO as the state and the last 6 digits of your VIN.
- When your permanent plate arrives, add the vehicle again with the correct permanent plate number, then remove the vehicle with the VIN from your account.

1. If there are vertical letters or numbers on the left side of the plate, enter them from top to bottom.
2. Next, enter the horizontal letters and numbers from left to right.
3. Finally, if there are vertical letters or numbers on the right side of the plate, enter them from top to bottom.

No. Permits are electronic.

Permits must be paid for at the time of request.

Visit Kimball 150H if online issues occur.

Register up to five vehicles. Only one may be parked on campus at a time. If you are using a rental vehicle (not leased), contact Parking Services to temporarily add it to your account for the duration of the rental.

You can still request a permit, but citations must be resolved. Financial holds will be placed if left unpaid.

1. If there are vertical letters or numbers on the left side of the plate, enter them from top to bottom.
2. Next, enter the horizontal letters and numbers from left to right.

Yes, for one "A" permit and one secondary ("AN" or "AS") if you have at least two cars. 
 
Part-Time, temporary, and adjunct employees are only benefitted one "A" permit and no secondary permit. 
 
Third or more permits must be purchased by semester at the student rate.

If a spouse or other family member needs to park on campus.

Unlimited.

Employees are allowed to assign 5 vehicles per permit. However, only one vehicle for each permit is allowed to park on campus simultaneously. 
 
**For example, an employee adds 5 vehicles to their "A" permit. They can add those same 5 vehicles to their "AN" permit or "AS" permit. In this example one vehicle would be able to park in any valid "A" lot and the other vehicle could park in any "AN" or "AS" lot without getting cited. If however, both vehicles were to park in an "A" lot the second vehicle scanned by LPR would be in violation.**

The employee will need to be aware of which vehicles are assigned to permits, and park those vehicles in the appropriate lots, or go in the systems and assign that vehicle to a permit.

- Household members may use your permit.
- If your spouse is also an employee, they may register their own vehicles and request separate permits.
- Do not register the same vehicle to two employee accounts (system will give an error). If you need to move a vehicle from one employee account to another, contact Parking services.
- If you authorize your dependent to use your employee permit their vehicle must be added to your employee account.
- Dependents must reside with you to use your employee permit. If your dependent moves out of your household or has their own student account and wants to register their vehicle on their account, they must buy a student permit.
- If your dependent moves back in with you, they may use your permit again if the above criteria are met.

- When vehicles are added to the system, you will be prompted to attach it to your permits. If you request the permit first, you will be prompted to add your vehicle if one is not already on your account.
- Employees can request one "A" permit and one "AN" or "AS" if you have two or more vehicles. If you are driving a rental vehicle (not leased), contact Parking Services to temporarily add it to your account for the duration of the rental.
- If an employee has two permits, one vehicle is allowed in the "A" permit area, and one vehicle in either "AN" or "AS" area depending on which secondary permit you possess.
- Additional "N" or "S" permits may be purchased at the student rate to park more than two cars.
- It is incumbent on the employee to communicate with all drivers of their vehicles as to where they can park.
- Part time, adjunct, and temporary employees are allowed only one "A" permit and no secondary permit.

Not allowed unless your vehicle has a front plate. Plate must be visible from the drive lane. Prohibited on one-way streets and lanes.

Submit within 14 days online. Appeals are reviewed by the Employee Appeals Committee.

## Campus Visitors

Permit parking is enforced from 7:00 AM to 4:00PM. 
 
You may park in designated visitor stalls during enforcement hours on all regularly scheduled classroom days. Or, if you need to park in areas other than visitor stalls, you can request free permits to park in permit-controlled parking stalls online at BYUI Parking Services or at Kimball 150H.

Yes, but they can be voided with proof of visitor status. If you are borrowing a student or employee's car you must park consistent with their permit rather than in visitors' stalls.

You may register with Parking as a community patron for a limited period of time.

Allowed in most areas, except visitors, handicap, and reserved stalls.

## Event Parking

Coordinate with Parking Services. Departments handle notifications and staffing.

Contact the Scheduling Office and Parking Services in advance.

## Citations

Using an old ticket to avoid a new one. It's fraud and results in penalties.

Common reasons: 3+ unassigned citations and unregistered plate, registered owner claims they no longer own the vehicle.

You'll receive an email. Check citations online. 
 
A physical citation will also be placed on your vehicle.

- Not criminally, but unpaid tickets = financial holds for students.
- Employee = collections by financial services.

Provide proper physician documentation to Parking Services (usually the same form given to request a state handicap permit). Temporary handicap permits may be issued while waiting for the state issued handicap placard to arrive, temporary handicap permits are not valid for more than one semester, for longer periods you will need to obtain a state issued placard.
