The parking permits to be issued this year are cardboard disposable permits available from the Parking Office. Students also may register vehicles in the Parking Office if they choose to purchase a student parking permit. With student parking permits, students may park in their specified parking lots depending on their residence. The end of spring semester and June 30 are times when some faculty and staff members terminate their employment or retire from the University. Faculty or staff taking a leave of absence over the summer months also may wish to return parking permits so as not to incur charges for parking during their absence.
Payment is required for the possession of the permit regardless of usage.
Each spring some colleges and departments take on high school or South Hills School of Business and Technology interns or practicum students. Colleges or departments may pay for temporary parking permits for these interns in open-staff parking areas. Research has shown that preadolescent girls tend to shy away from the sciences. The Nittany Science Camp for Girls will allow girls to spend each day actively participating in engineering design activities and scientific experiments. Throughout the week, participants are exposed to the fields of ecology, geography, geology, meteorology and engineering.
