PARKING

Upon employment, faculty and staff are eligible to obtain a parking permit to the parking lot of their choice based on availability. Permit issuance is limited to one per employee. The Case Office of Parking and Transportation is responsible for the issuance of parking permits. All permits are issued on a first-come, first-served basis.

Faculty and staff may choose to pay through either monthly payroll deductions or on an annual cash basis (check, MasterCard or VISA).

3.1.1 Permit Issuance

3.1.2 Full Time - All faculty and staff working 21 hours or more per week are issued full-time permits.

3.1.3 Part Time - Faculty and staff working 20 hours a week or less are issued part-time permits.

3.1.4 Annual Renewal

Full or part time faculty and staff who purchase permits through monthly payroll deductions are issued "Continuous" hangtags, which are self-renewing from year to
year. Notices of rate changes and updates on policy procedures are mailed in late May.

Those who purchase an annual permit with the June 30 expiration date receive a renewal application in June. New permits are issued upon return of the application and payment.

Renewal notices are not sent to those whose permits expire December 31. Notices are placed in Campus News and "Administrative Notes."

3.1.5 Emeritus Faculty

Faculty members granted emeritus status upon retirement are given the privilege of lifelong free parking. An emeritus permit allows the person to park in a pre-assigned UCI lot. The permit is issued only to the person with emeritus status and is not transferable to spouses or children. It is valid only for the lifetime of the recipient.

3.1.6 Departmental/Courtesy Passes

In some cases, a department may request a pass for an employee who has a parking permit, but whose work-related needs (making frequent deliveries, carrying heavy equipment, multiple department locations) require short-term or limited parking in areas other than the assigned lot. Requests for multi-access passes are reviewed by the Parking Office.

3.2 STUDENTS

All students are eligible for permits upon enrollment. Student permits are issued in a variety of categories as defined in this section.

3.2.1 Commuter

Students who commute are assigned to designated commuter spaces in CPO lots.

3.2.2 Resident

Students who live in residence halls or south campus fraternities are assigned to resident spaces. Residence hall permits are sold for the academic year. Students who live in residence halls during the summer are required to purchase summer permits.

3.2.3 Part-time Status

Part-time permits are sold to students who are registered for fewer than 12 hours at the undergraduate level or fewer than 9 hours at the graduate level. Students who are registered for courses numbered 651 or 701 are considered full-time for parking purposes unless written confirmation by an employer verifies that full-time employment off campus limits their time on campus. Part-time students employed by University Circle institutions must purchase full-time permits.

3.2.4 Medical Students (In Rotation)

Third- and fourth-year students doing rotations at University Hospitals may purchase monthly permits. Payment is made with cash or check and no refunds are issued if the permit is canceled.

3.2.5 Executive MBA (EMBA)& Professional Fellows Program(PFP)

Students enrolled in these two programs can obtain a special parking permit that allows them to park in S-54 only on the days their classes are in session. These
permits are issued by the Dively Center.

3.2.6 Space Reservations

All student parking is based on a first-come, first-served basis and permits are available during registration for both semesters through walk-in parking registration. Returning students may reserve a space in the spring for the following fall semester. Students must claim reserved permits by the start of the fall semester or forfeit the space.

3.3 WAITING LISTS

If the desired parking location is not available, faculty, staff and students can have their names placed on a waiting list for the lot of their choice. Sign up is limited to one waiting list. When a space becomes available, the Parking Office will contact the individual by phone or electronic mail. The Parking Office will hold the space for five working days. Those who wish to check their waiting list status may contact the Parking Office or log in to the Parking Office's home page on the network.

3.4 MONTHLY PERMITS

Faculty, staff or students who do not usually drive to class sometimes find it necessary to do so for a limited time. In these cases, permits may be sold for one month intervals in a lot that has space available. These permits are paid for by cash, check, or credit card and may not be canceled for a refund.

3.5 NIGHT / WEEKEND PERMITS

Night/weekend permits are sold to individuals who only need parking after 5:00 p.m. weekdays or all hours on weekends. These permits may be purchased with December 31, academic year, or June 30 expiration dates. Because demand is lower for evening parking than for daytime parking, there is no need to reserve them in advance.

3.6 SUMMER PERMITS

Summer permits are sold to faculty, staff or students who have vehicles on campus only during the summer session. They are also sold to students who have
reserved fall parking, but have a different need for parking during the summer.

Not all lots are available during the summer and rates are based on the monthly parking rate. Summer permits are considered temporary permits and they may not be canceled for a refund.

3.7 DEPARTMENT ASSIGNED SPACES

In some cases, departments will be allowed to purchase permits in CPO lots for special purposes. These requests must be approved by the Parking and Transportation Office.

3.8 OUTSIDE AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS

Tenants in University facilities who are employed by non-University organizations may also obtain permits.

Tenants housed in University owned apartments may be assigned parking in lots near the residence if there is space available and there are no faculty/staff or student waiting lists for the location.

Faculty and staff permits may be purchased through payroll deduction, cash, check or Master Card/Visa. Only continuous permits are eligible for payroll deduction.

Billing - In some cases, a department or outside agency may pay for the permit. A December 31 or June 30 expiration date may be selected and the department or agency is charged for the full amount of the permit.
Temporary permits may also be paid through billings.

Departments may not pay for permits issued to those who
are paid as employees by the University.

4.2 STUDENT

Commuter student permits can be purchased through December 31, the academic year or June 30. Resident students purchase permits for the academic year. Payment can be made by cash, check or Master Card/Visa.

4.3 CANCELLATION / REFUNDS

Permits may be canceled at any time after the first 30 days. If a permit is canceled before the 15th of the month, a full refund for that month and the following months is issued. If the permit is canceled on or after the 15th of the month, the full monthly amount is charged. Resident lot permits are prorated for the semester(s) and the last month of the semester is
non-refundable.

Appendix I contains a current inventory of all University parking lots, their locations and the types of parkers assigned to each lot.

5.2 HANGTAGS, GATE CARDS and ID ACCESS

Permit parkers must display their assigned hangtag at all times when parked in University lots. Lots with gate arms require the use of a gate card or University ID card for access. University ID cards are automatically programmed upon permit issuance for access to the assigned lot. Gate cards are also issued at the time of permit issuance. Loss of a hangtag or gate card results in a $25 replacement fee. The fee to replace a continuous hangtag for lots without card access is $50. The fee is waived if the vehicle is reported stolen and supported by an official police report.

Tampering with a hangtag may result in towing, a fine of $100 and the potential loss of parking privileges.

5.3 AFTER HOURS PARKING PRIVILEGES

The following lots are accessible to all permit holders after normal business hours (4:30 p.m.-7:30 a.m.) and on weekends:

Surface Lot # - 1A, 44 & 47

Garage Structure # - S-53 & S-55 (lower level only)
These structures request requested access. S-55 requires a valid Case ID card. S-53 requires a separate access card. There is a $10 deposit for the card.

After hours parking is not guaranteed in any of the lots or structures if space is used by assigned permit holders or if parking arrangements have been made for special events.

5.4 SPILL-OVER PARKING IN THE EVENT A LOT IS FULL

In the event that an assigned parking lot is full, permit holders can park in predetermined spill-over lots. Access Services maintains a current list of spill-over parking lot locations as they change throughout the year. Permit holders should check with Access Services on the assigned spill-over location for their lot.

5.5 CARPOOLING

Carpooling is encouraged. A carpool hangtag will be issued if the assigned lot has card access. All carpooling vehicles must be registered with a permit.

Permits are transferable only to other vehicles owned by the permit holder or to rental cars, etc. when owner's vehicle is out of service.

Contractors working on Case projects who wish to park in University lots must obtain parking permits for remote lots or special contractor permits for parking adjacent to job sites. Issuance of a special job site contractor permit requires approval from the University project manager overseeing the contract. All University contract specifications require that contractors agree to pay for on-campus parking as a term of the contract.

A job site parking form will be completed by the project manager and forwarded to the Parking Office for issuance of a contractor permit.

6.2 LONG-TERM SERVICE CONTRACTORS

The University engages a number of outside contractors who perform services on an on-going basis. These include service repair personnel, cleaning, food service, etc. Long-term service contractors will be eligible for individual parking permits as approved by the Office of Parking and Transportation. Permits will be issued on the same basis as faculty and staff.

6.3 SERVICE VEHICLE PERMITS

Certain outside service contractors are required to have vehicle access in all areas of the campus adjacent to buildings. University managers responsible for these services will provide authorization to the Parking Office for the issuance of Service Vehicle Permits which will entitle these contractors to park in the designated Service Vehicle Areas (See App. I) throughout campus. These permits do not authorize parking in fire lanes, etc. All contracts requiring service vehicle access to the campus on an on-going basis will specify the obligation of vendor paying for on-campus parking as a term of the contract.

7.1 VISITOR COURTESY PARKING

Departments with frequent visitors to the University may request that a stamp be issued which allows the department to pay for the guest's parking in visitor (non-meter) lots through an internal charge system.

7.3 DESIGNATED PARKING AREAS

Several areas of campus have been designated solely for the purpose of accommodating parking for a specific facility or department. These areas are not part of the CPO and parking privileges are granted through the department and enforced by Case Security. Arrangements for parking in these areas are reviewed on an on-going basis. Following is a list of current special areas:
