The following guidelines outline the proper parking, delivery and advertising procedures for vendors and contractors while conducting business on campus.

Vendor Parking Registration Guidelines

Service and supply vendors shall register vehicles and display a vendor parking tag to park in designated areas while conducting official business on campus. The terms and conditions of a designated area is based on the needs of each vendor.

Vendors that routinely conduct business on campus are required to pre-register vehicles online using the Vehicle Registration Form, and pick up an assigned vendor tag from UPD, Health Center, upon arrival. Vendor passes are valid through December 31.

Vendors that do not pre-register shall obtain a visitor day pass from UPD, Health Center, that designates limited parking for a maximum term of 48 hours. The vendor will be required to fill out a printed version of the Vehicle Registration Form to obtain a visitor day pass upon each visit.  

A delivery vehicle is allowed to park in a building loading zone, without a tag, for a maximum term of 20 minutes to load or unload goods only (flashers are required). The college prohibits deliveries to residence halls beyond the building entrance.

Contractor Parking Registration Guidelines 

Facilities administers contractor vehicle registrations for parking in designated lay down areas as negotiated in the contract terms. Contractors and subcontractors shall register vehicles through a facilities authorized agent for parking in these lay down areas.

The facilities agent shall maintain a list of contractors (names, plate, state of registration) authorized to park in designated lay down areas. Where applicable, the agent may request a ‘special use’ parking tag from [email protected] for a supervisor to conduct site inspections at multiple work sites.
