(1)
Students.
Students will
			 be granted parking privileges in parking facilities designated for student use.
			 Optional plans and facilities may be offered as established by the manager.
			 Reasonable classifications may be established on the basis of a student's age,
			 class, college or department, course load, proximity of 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
			 will be granted parking privileges in parking facilities designated for
			 employee use. Optional plans and facilities may be offered as established by
			 the manager. Reasonable classifications may be established on the basis of an
			 employee's job classification, length of service, place of work or the nature
			 thereof, 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 established by the
			 manager. Reasonable classifications may be established on the basis of the
			 time, duration or purpose of 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. Persons must present a currently valid department of
			 transportation parking permit for persons with disabilities to obtain the
			 campus permit. Parking facilities designated for persons with disabilities
			 shall be so regulated all hours of all days.
(5)
Procedure.
Applications
			 for parking privileges shall be submitted in the manner prescribed by the
			 manager. No student shall apply for parking privileges for any vehicle owned or
			 actually maintained by another student. The manager shall determine the
			 eligibility and priority of each applicant for parking privileges within the
			 classifications established in 4.30(1), 4.30(2) and 4.30(3) and shall make
			 parking assignments. A parking permit will be issued to each applicant who is
			 granted parking privileges, and the permit shall be displayed on the vehicle in
			 the manner prescribed by the manager. Parking permits are not transferable. The
			 unauthorized possession, use, alteration, forging or counterfeiting of a
			 parking permit, or any portion thereof, is prohibited. Parking privileges will
			 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. Temporary parking permits may be issued
			 to accommodate special situations. The manager 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 these fees and charges shall be approved by
			 the state board of regents. A schedule of all parking fees and charges shall be
			 published and available for inspection during normal business hours in the
			 office of the manager and in the office of the state board of regents. Parking
			 fees and charges may be assessed and collected on an annual, semester, monthly,
			 daily, 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
			 manager.
(8)
Responsibility.
Any person who maintains, operates, or owns a
			 vehicle which is on the campus or in whose name the vehicle is registered or
			 parking privileges have been granted is responsible for the proper parking of
			 the vehicle at all times 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
			 the 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 manager 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.
