				conditions as may be established by the university.
(1)
Students.
Students may
			 be granted parking privileges in parking facilities designated for student use.
			 Optional plans and facilities may be offered as determined by the appointed
			 authority. Reasonable classifications may be established on the basis of a
			 student's age, class, college or department, course load, proximity of the
			 student's residence to the campus, physical disability, employment, the
			 availability of facilities, or any other relevant criterion to determine the
			 eligibility of students for parking privileges or any optional plan or
			 facility.
(2)
Employees.
Employees may be granted parking privileges in
			 parking facilities designated for employee use. Optional plans and facilities
			 may be offered as determined by the appointed authority. Reasonable
			 classifications may be established on the basis of an employee's job
			 classification, length of service, place of work or the nature thereof, or
			 physical disability; the availability of facilities; or any other relevant
			 criterion to determine the priority of employees for assignment of parking
			 privileges or any optional plan or facility.
(3)
Visitors.
Visitors may
			 be granted parking privileges in parking facilities designated for visitor
			 parking. Optional plans and facilities may be offered as determined by the
			 appointed authority. Reasonable classifications may be established on the basis
			 of the time, duration or purpose of the visit; physical disability; the
			 availability of facilities; or any other relevant criterion to determine the
			 eligibility of visitors for parking privileges or any optional plan or
			 facility.
(4)
Persons with
			 disabilities.
Persons with disabilities will be granted parking
			 privileges in parking facilities designated for use by persons with
			 disabilities.
(5)
Procedure.
Applications for parking privileges shall be
			 submitted to the appointed authority in the manner the appointed authority
			 prescribes. No student shall apply for parking privileges for any vehicle owned
			 or actually maintained by another student. The appointed authority shall
			 determine the eligibility and priority of each applicant for parking privileges
			 within the classifications established in subrules 4.6(1), 4.6(2) and 4.6(3)
			 and shall make all parking assignments. A parking permit or other means of
			 identification may be issued to each applicant who is granted parking
			 privileges, and such permit or other identification must be displayed on the
			 vehicle in the manner prescribed by the appointed authority. Parking permits
			 are not transferable. Parking privileges shall not be granted to a student and
			 to an employee or visitor for the same vehicle, and a student parking permit
			 and an employee or visitor parking permit shall not be displayed on the same
			 vehicle. The unauthorized possession, use, alteration, forging or
			 counterfeiting of a parking permit, or any portion thereof, is prohibited. The
			 appointed authority shall adopt a procedure to replace lost, stolen and
			 destroyed parking permits and controlled access entry cards.
(6)
Parking fees.
The
			 university may assess and collect from students, employees, and visitors
			 reasonable fees or charges for parking privileges and the use of parking
			 facilities. The amount of such fees and charges shall be established by the
			 university and approved by the board of regents, and a schedule of all parking
			 fees and charges shall be published and available for inspection during normal
			 business hours in the office of the appointed authority and in the office of
			 the board of regents. Parking fees and charges may be assessed and collected on
			 an annual, semester, monthly, or hourly basis. Parking fees and charges may be
			 added to student tuition bills and may by agreement be withheld from the
			 salaries or wages of employees by payroll deduction. Parking fees and charges
			 may be collected by means of parking meters or toll houses. Use of any parking
			 facility constitutes an implied agreement to pay the prescribed fee or charge
			 therefor.
(7)
University
			 business.
Special parking privileges may be granted for vehicles being
			 used on official university business on the conditions and in the manner
			 prescribed by the appointed authority.
(8)
Responsibility.
Any
			 person who maintains, owns or operates a vehicle that is parked on the campus
			 or in whose name the vehicle is registered or to whom parking privileges have
			 been granted is responsible for the proper parking of the vehicle at all times
			 when it is on the campus and for all parking violations involving the
			 vehicle.
(9)
Liability.
Parking privileges granted hereunder constitute a
			 license to use university parking facilities and do not constitute a lease of
			 such facilities or a bailment of the vehicle by the university. Use of
			 university parking facilities is at the owner's or applicant's risk, and the
			 university shall not be liable or responsible for loss of or damage to any
			 vehicle parked on the campus.
(10)
Revocation.
Parking privileges on the campus may be revoked by
			 the university for good cause at any time upon five days' written notice and
			 refund of any advance payment of parking fees or charges on a pro rata basis
			 for the revoked period.
