Security Services is finishing up the last of the parking permits, so please make sure you have registered your car or registered as NOCAR on myGFU. After your permit has been issued, you will receive a package notice from Mail Services, and you will need to sign for your permit at the main post office by the track. Please affix your permit on the lower, outside corner of the exterior rear window on the Driver’s side. Do NOT place it over an existing permit as the adhesive is designed to stick to the window-not another permit. A parking brochure indicating where your permit allows you to park will be included with your permit. Please begin parking in the correct lots this weekend! Don’t hestitate to call ext. 2090 if you have any questions.
Students who registered after fall bills were printed and mailed in July or who are expecting an updated bill will need to access their student account charges through their student service center. Everything you need…account transactions, pending aid and payment due dates are all accessible online. And now, you can even pay online and give permissions to others to pay online! (See yesterday’s E-nnouncement.)
This Thursday we will welcome the largest-ever incoming class of students. Parking is going to be extremely congested, especially on the west side of campus. Please do not park in the Stevens, Hoover, Wood-Mar or Pennington lots, or on Sheridan, Carlton (library/Mail Services area), River or Center streets south of Sheridan Street.
We would ask you to park in the Bauman lot if you work/have classes on the west side of campus, and when that is full, to park on the campus side of Meridian Street. Please help us to be as welcoming to our new and returning students, and to sacrifice your parking spots this Thursday through Saturday.
Summer workstudy students living on campus this fall need to leave their cars in the lots that their parking permits indicate, and off-campus summer workstudy students and grad students need to park in the commuter lots beginning on Thursday.
The next few weeks might be challenging, so we ask for your patience!
Thank you,
Security Services
