Vehicle registration change takes effect for adjunct professors

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2016

Adjunct professors: The bad news is your current parking permit is set to expire on Dec. 31, 2016; the good news is, if you will be on contract for spring 2017, we’ll be switching you to a staff permit that doesn’t expire!

In order to make this switch happen, you will need to come to the security office before Jan. 7. We will review your vehicles that are registered before issuing your new permit, so if you have vehicle updates, please bring your DMV registration slip to the office.
