Students: Around 230 of you have yet to either register your vehicle or register as NOT bringing a vehicle to campus. If you haven’t completed this by the Add/Drop date of Sept. 9, you WILL be issued a $25 non-refundable parking permit regardless of whether you have a car or not.

So, please register your vehicles on myGFU as soon as possible! If you didn’t bring a car to campus, you are still required to register on myGFU as “not bringing a car to campus” to avoid being assigned a parking permit.

Please contact Security Services at 503-554-2090 if you have questions after reading the Security Services webpages on the GFU website. We are more than happy to answer your parking/registration questions.
