Staff, Faculty, and Students

Only staff and faculty members on the school’s payroll are eligible for a parking pass. Exceptions may be made by the Operations Supervisor on a case by case basis for students with issued disability permits; a properly issued disability permit does not automatically grant a student a parking pass.
