Each year beginning in July and no later than the start of fall semester, faculty and staff who wish to park on the CSU campus are required to register their vehicle with the Parking & Transportation Services department. Parking registration includes the assignment of a parking tag. Two basic types of tags are offered to faculty and staff members: Prepaid and Daily Usage.

When registering for parking, faculty and staff members need their vehicle license plate number, CSU ID, and payment.

Daily Usage Faculty and Staff Parking

A Daily Usage tag allows the tag holder to pay as they park. The $6 parking fee is paid to the parking attendant upon entering the lot. Cash only is accepted for payment (no checks or credit cards). Not all lots accept Daily Usage parkers and some lots restrict times when the Daily Usage tags are accepted. Parking on campus with a Daily Usage tag without paying the daily fee is prohibited. There is no fee to register for the Daily Usage tag. This is a more economical option for parkers who visit campus twice per week or less

Faculty and Staff may register for a Daily Usage tag through CampusNet  or in person at the Parking & Transportation Services Office. Part time employees and adjunct faculty are not able to register for parking via CampusNet.

Pre Paid Faculty Staff parking

A Prepaid parking tag allows the parker to park in most prepaid parking lots on campus. The parking fee may be payroll deducted for the duration of the tag or paid up front at time of registration. This tag offers more parking spaces to faculty staff parkers than the Daily Usage tag. Prepaid parkers are guaranteed parking on campus but are not guaranteed a specific location.

The permit payroll deduction rate for 2011-2012 is $68 per month for an annual tag ($78 per month for Fall or Spring semester). Payroll deduction is available for most university employees. Deductions are made on a pre-tax basis and are taken from the second paycheck each month.

The purchase of an Annual permit can also be transacted through a CampusNet account with Visa, Mastercard, or Discover Card. Part time employees and adjunct faculty are not able to register for parking via CampusNet.

There are five Faculty Staff Prepaid Parking options:

1. Annual: Permits are valid from July 1 to June 30. This option is cost effective for individuals who intend to park on campus at least four (4) times per week. Annual parking hangtags may be purchased at the prorated price or through monthly payroll deduction.

2. Fall or Spring Semester: Permits are valid for one semester only. This option is cost effective for individuals who intend to park on campus at least three (3) times per week. Effective dates are printed on the pass.

4. Single Use"Scratch Off": Tags are valid for a single calendar day's parking on CSU campus.

Likewise, the tags are only valid for parking when the valid date is scratched off. Parkers with Scratch Off tags are permitted to park at any time in any Prepaid Parking area on the CSU campus including Faculty/Staff only parking areas. Generally, this option is recommended for individuals who need the convenience of a pre paid pass and intend to park on campus twice per week or less.

Annual, Semester, and PG Pass permit prices are prorated through the year. Check with Parking & Transportation Services for current pricing. Permits purchased through payroll deduction may require a partial payment for the starting month before the payroll deduction can be processed.

With the exception of the SG and PG, Pre Paid Faculty Staff parking tag holders may park in CSU parking facilities with posted Special Event rates at no additional charge.
