Permit Agreement

 

I have read and understand the following:

*IMPORTANT*

Iowa State University has 3 Parking Enforcement Vehicles equipped with License Plate Recognition cameras. The vehicles can cover the entire campus multiple times per day. The cameras read the license plates and then cross reference the license plate with the permit database to determine if you have a permit for the location you are parked.

Eligibility

I understand I am only eligible for the permits and parking rights specified by my status as a Student, Faculty/Staff, University Affiliate or Visitor. 

NO BAILMENT CONTRACT IS INTENDED-PARK AT YOUR OWN RISK.

When you pay to park at Iowa State University, you are only renting a space for your vehicle. You are not paying us to protect your vehicle or its contents. You assume the risk of your vehicle and/or its contents being stolen or damaged. You also agree that if your vehicle or its contents are stolen or damaged, you will not ask Iowa State to pay for your loss.

License Plates and Permits

  • In most cases your "permit" is your license plate.
  • It is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to notify the Parking Division of their most current license plate and vehicle information. Failure to update license plate and vehicle information will result in a fine. 
  • License plate must be clear of snow, dirt, and other debris. Failure to clearly display your vehicle's license plate will also result in a fine. 
  • You may only park in the lot(s) allowed by your "permit".
  • DO NOT add University Vehicles, rental vehicles, or loaner vehicles to your personal account. Please fill out the Short Term Replacement Vehicle Form instead. If your rental is longer than a week, please contact the parking office to determine what your permit options are.

Multiple Vehicles

Permits and parking rights are only allowed for one vehicle on ISU campus at a time. If multiple vehicles are found on campus attempting to use the same parking rights, the second vehicle found will receive a citation.
