101
The size of the student body and the faculty, coupled with the fact that a large number of students live off-campus, leads to a relatively large number of motor vehicles on and near the campus. This traffic load, in turn, complicates parking for the campus citizen and creates a hazard for vehicles and pedestrians.

It is the policy of the University to provide parking space upon the campus for its regular employees and, within the limitation of available space, for students. It is in the best interest of University employees and students that rules and regulations be adopted governing the keeping and use of automobiles by university personnel on campus, providing parking areas and providing methods of enforcing these rules and regulations.

Notice of the violation is normally considered the date on which the notice is written, but no later than the date of the first university billing. In the event a student fails to pay any monetary fee assessed for the violation notification within the seven-day period as set out above, the monetary fee shall be entered into the students accounts receivable billing system, and a monthly statement is issued from the Cashier's office. If the statement is not paid by the due date, a financial hold is placed on the student's grades.

702
If an appeal is denied by the Parking Manager, the student or employee who submitted such appeal may within 7 days from the notification of the decision, request that a re-appeal be considered by the Chief of Police . If the Chief of Police denies the re-appeal or chooses not to hear it, the employee or student has the right of appeal to the Chancellor (or his designee). This re-appeal must be made within 14 days from the notification of the decision by the Chief of Police. The decision of the Chancellor (or his designee) shall be final.

Area X -- the parking lot by the Multi-Purpose Building is for activities within the building or those who have an area X permit. Employees must purchase any permit to park in this lot. (Any lettered permit will be authorized to park in this area.) Students can register their vehicle at no charge and park in this lot, while utilizing the building during open building hours, for a period not to exceed three hours.  Overnight parking is restricted to specifically authorized vehicles.

804.04
"Special Residence" lots shall be those lots, whatever their location, which are open to parking by those with a special designation permit. As a general practice, responsibility for upkeep and operation of these lots can be assigned by the Committee to another university operation.

901
Parking permits shall be required for all parking on the Missouri S&T Campus except for metered spaces. License plate recognition (LPR) will be utilized when checking for a valid permit by Missouri S&T Parking Operations. OGS members shall be recognized as a valid parking permit holder for the designated PRIORITY parking lot selected for those members of OGS who have paid the appropriate parking fees for the year in question and have notified the Committee of their desire to use this provision. OGS members must register their vehicle and license information with Missouri S&T Parking Operations.

902
Parking permits shall normally be issued prior to the beginning of the academic year but may be issued at any other time (on a pro-rata fee basis) according to the availability and at the discretion of the Committee. Employees who have unpaid parking fees will not be issued a new permit until those unpaid fees are paid.  Employees who have unpaid parking fees exceeding $100 will have their current parking permit revoked until such time as the unpaid fees are paid.  University employees and others requiring short term parking privileges may apply for temporary permits at any time. Permits shall be issued on a priority system to employees, students, and others authorized in Section 405.

903
Faculty, staff, and students will be assigned parking permits based on the following priority system: 

903.01
Persons with disabilities.

Priority assignment to other persons qualified under Section 405 shall be at the discretion of the Chief of Police and the Parking Operations Manager under the supervision of the Committee.

904
In the event a person resigns from one of these positions, they are reassigned parking permits based on the above system and availability of parking space.

905
Parking permit assignments for full-time employees will follow the campus parking priority system described above with each employee being assigned their first choice if available. If the first choice is not available, the second choice will be assigned, but the affected employee is automatically placed on the waiting list for their first choice. If first and second choices are not available, then the third choice is assigned (or fourth if third is not available), and the employee is automatically placed on each of the higher priority waiting lists. The same procedure is completed for all employees in sequential order according to the campus parking priority system.

906
Each year all full-time employees will be reissued a parking permit in the same area unless they have become eligible for a space in one of their higher priority choices or parking spaces have been reduced. (If parking spaces have been reduced, permit holders will be displaced out of the area by reversing the priority system.) After employee renewals, any available spaces in parking areas will be assigned to full-time employees based on their position in the waiting list. After all full-time employees have been assigned parking permits, part-time employees and students will be allowed to renew permits in their current area. Any additional space available will be sold on a first come, first serve basis as defined by seniority.

907
Any full-time employees assigned an area other than their first choice will automatically be assigned to the waiting list for each of their higher priority choices. Position on the waiting list is in order of the campus parking priority system. Parking lot lists will be opened by priority based on 903.         

907.01
The Committee shall decide at which level to oversubscribe the parking lots.

910
The fee schedule for parking permits shall be set by the Committee and may be obtained by calling the Missouri S&T Parking Operations Department at 341-4303 between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
