Parking Permit Types and Issuance Procedures
Parking Permits fall into two general categories: Paid and Unpaid permits.
Within the Unpaid Permit category are the following:
-
Visitor Permits: Visitor Permits are issued to persons who come to the University for some personal or business purpose. Permits are valid for one day and are issued at the University Success Center Information desk.
-
Special Event Permits: Special Event parking permits are issued upon request of the Office of Institutional Effectiveness, and sent to that office via interoffice mail or electronically to be furnished to the event participants. The number of permits issued is based upon the event coordinator's estimate of attendees. Every effort will be made by the Police Department to issue permits to the event coordinator. Any citations recieved should be given to the event coordinator to determine eligibility for dismissal.
-
Physical Plant : In many cases, individuals or entities which contract with the University include a provision in the contract that parking is to be provided. The permits will be issued to the contracting entity for the physical plant area only and are not valid in any other parking lot on campus.
-
Temporary Parking Permits: Temporary parking permits will be issued when it is in the best interests of the University to do so.
-
Newly hired employees will be issued a temporary parking permit for the General lot as a courtesy to facilitate their employment and orientation to the University.
-
Temporary permits will be issued for the day only. Concessions may be made for extenuating circumstances by emailing dispatcher@tamiu.edu
Parking Permit Classifications
Paid Parking Permits. There are two classifications of Paid Parking Permits: General and Reserved.
-
General Permits Includes the majority of the campus parking and may be purchased by semester or the entire Academic year.
- Reserved Parking Permits Includes the two areas previously referred to as faculty/staff or gated parking. These permits may be purchased by semester or the entire Academic year.
-
University Village(UV) and Residential Learning Center(RLC) Parking Permits. Residents at University Village or the Residential Learning Center are required to display a general parking permit. This permit may be purchased at the Bursar's Office in the University Success Center room 137.
-
Handicap Parking Permits. A Handicap Parking Permit is required to park in the University Handicap Parking spaces, and the vehicle must be used for the transportation of a handicapped person: Merely having a Handicap Parking Permit does not entitle a vehicle to be parked in a University Handicap Parking space. A TAMIU parking permit must also be displayed when parked in a handicapped space. University patrons (faculty, staff and students) who suffer a temporary disability may obtain a temporary Handicap Parking Permit from the Director of Student Health Services.
Payment of Fees:
Fees for parking permits shall be paid at the University Bursar's Office located in the university Success Center room 137.
Refund of Parking Permit Fees:
Charges for parking permits are not prorated and therefore, refunds may only be obtained prior to the first day of class of the semester in which it was purchased, and the permit must be intact and unused. Persons should request refunds at the Bursar’s Office located in the University Success Center.
