Campus Parking

Visit “Finding Your Residence Hall & Where to Park” section of the Opening Week Information page.

If you do not pre-register for parking at least 48 hours prior to arrival, you will be ticketed as of the session start date. However, the Appeals Board will waive a first offense for ‘no permit visible’ as a one-time warning upon filing an appeal. Anyone that pre-registers after a session starts has 48-hours from registering to pick up an assigned tag from UPD. 

Providing a vehicle is pre-registered and legally parked, ‘no permit visible’ tickets received in August prior to the session start, are expunged until the fall session start date when all vehicles are required to display a valid parking tag as proof of registration. 

Approximately 24 hours after registering a vehicle in August and confirming enrollment with the parking fees included in tuition, a parking tag number should appear on your student’s “Automobile Registration” page in MyPlattsburgh.  If you did not pre-register prior to arriving on campus, complete this step immediately, and a parking tag will be assigned within 24 hours.

Find the parking tag disbursement schedule on the Vehicle Registration page.

The parking tag must be readable when displayed from the vehicle’s rearview mirror or dash below mirror. Motorcycles should display sticker on the left fork.

The college does not guarantee parking close to one’s intended campus destination, except upon proof of a disabling condition. See Special Parking Privileges for Qualifying Individuals

A tag holder is encouraged to report a lost or stolen tag to UPD by submitting a signed parking hangtag affidavit to suspend the tag liability in the event of misuse by another individual. 

A replacement tag requires payment of a $30 replacement fee as outlined in the parking tag guidelines.

Any fine levied against an individual for a parking infraction shall be paid or appealed within five business days of receipt of the ticket in accordance with the parking appeals guidelines.

Parking Appeals Form & Guidelines

Students are responsible for their invited guest’s vehicle, including vehicle registration and hangtags; parking compliance for parking lots and restrictions; and violations, fines and appeals.

It is a violation of campus policy to dismiss a ticket without the consent of the Appeals Board. The Appeals Board will grant a one-time waiver for a first offense for “no permit visible” or “permit expired” as outlined in the parking appeals guidelines.

Parking Appeals Form & Guidelines

During regular campus business hours, parking is restricted to tag holders in designated lots. See parking lots and restrictions for a complete list of lots, designations and restrictions.

Students that do not have a car must remove unwanted optional parking fees from your tuition bill prior to confirming enrollment. If you confirmed enrollment with unwanted fees included, send a cancellation request to [email protected] within 5 business days from the session start. 

Please do NOT send a cancellation request if unwanted parking fees were already removed. If unsure, verify fees paid in your tuition bill. After the cancellation deadline, the parking fees are nonrefundable.
