University of Northern Colorado Parking Services

«Parking Services is a self-​supporting auxiliary department fo the University of Northern Colorado. No tax revenue, student fees or tuition funds are used in its operation.»
«Parking Services’ mission is to manage an efficient and self-​supporting system of parking lots for the campus. We will design and maintain our lots to enhance safety and an orderly traffic flow. We will enforce Parking Rules and Regulations so that our patrons receive the best service possible.»
Despite their publicized mission however, UNC Parking Services staff will make you pay for two semesters of parking even if you will be attending for only the fall semester. The parker must then apply for a refund. If you don’t apply for a refund, they aren’t going to remind you. If you get a refund, it will be minus the interest it earned during the months it was held hostage.
Parking permits issued by Parking Services are good for a single vehicle. If you need to bring a different vehicle to campus, and wish to use your parking permit, you need to inform Parking Services and receive a dispensation to do so. An alternative opted for by many part-​time students is to pay for hourly or daily parking, which nonetheless is also very expensive for students.
Student-​staff with uniform-​vests patrol the parking areas and do issue citations for parking without a permit. The ones I have talked with have all been courteous and helpful.
