Special and Conditional Use Parking Permits
Revised: May 2005
Special Parking Permits
A "Special" parking permit (formally known as a "Brown Special") enables the holder to park in any 30-minute visitor parking zone or in parking spaces designated for ‘Special Parking Permits Only” in faculty/staff lots when no faculty/staff space appears or is likely to be vacant. Special permits must be displayed with a valid faculty/staff parking permit to be valid.
The President has authorized Special parking permits for the following administrative positions, each of which may require the use of a personal vehicle to conduct university business and/or attendance at off-site meetings on a regular basis.
Division Heads
College Deans
Associate Vice President(s) for Academic Affairs
Associate Vice President(s) for Administration and Finance
Associate Vice President(s) for Student Affairs
Associate Vice President(s) for University Advancement
Division Heads may authorize in writing special parking permits for other administrative positions on an as needed basis. The President or designee will review and confirm special parking permits annually or more frequently if necessary.
Conditional Use Parking Permits
A "Conditional Use" parking permit enables the holder to park only in a specific parking area such as:
- 30-minute visitor parking zones
- Service areas (McCarthy Hall, MC-Central Plant, Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Athletics, Corporation Yard, Sports Complex, Student Health and Counseling Center, Humanities, Pollack Library, Engineering)
- Loading zones (15 minute)
- Parking designated for maintenance and service vehicles
- Other areas not intended or designated for long term parking
Conditional Use parking permits must be displayed with a valid faculty/staff parking permit to be valid. Upon the written approval of the appropriate Division Head, Parking & Transportation will issue a Conditional Use parking permit to those university employees who, according to their primary job responsibilities, are required to:
- Use personal vehicles to conduct university business and/or attend off-site meetings on a regular basis; or
- Use a personal vehicle to access campus service areas, loading zones, or other areas not intended or designated for long-term parking, or
- Regularly work between the hours of 12am and 6am (Graveyard shift).
Division Heads or their designees will review and confirm conditional use parking permits annually or more frequently if necessary.
Fees
The cost for Supplemental and Conditional Use parking permits shall be $50.00 per month as follows:
- Employees paying the $12/month parking permit rate shall pay an additional $38/month.
- Employees paying the $32/month parking permit rate shall pay an additional $18/ month.
* There will be no fee for the ‘graveyard’ conditional use permit valid between 12am and 6 am.
Employees are responsible for all parking fees unless the appropriate Division Head approves in writing the use of University funds to pay the additional differential fee for the Special or Conditional Use parking permit.
