Important Information
The intent of the FDP permit is to provide departments with mobility and flexibility across campus. It should not be used for prolonged or continuous parking in a single location.
The FDP permit may not be used by students for attending classes or related academic activities, including use of recreational or library facilities.
Departmental permits purchased with University funds are tax exempt and intended only for official University business. Any personal use must be reported to Payroll so the value can be treated as taxable income. Abuse of the permit may result in immediate cancellation.
