The Daily Bruin

Campus Public Safety is happy to share some exciting news. Students will no longer need to purchase a parking permit for their vehicle!

As of next school year, your student fees will help cover campus safety expenses such as video camera system upgrades and maintenance, lighting improvements and maintenance, as well as parking lot repairs. These fees will now also cover the cost of parking permits.

We will also be providing First Aid/CPR/AED classes at no cost to students, so keep an eye out for our schedule announcements starting next year.

You will still need to register your vehicle starting this summer, so please pay attention to the emails and Daily Bruin updates that will be coming out.
