ENFORCEMENT OF PARKING REGULATIONS

Enforcement of the Arkansas State University (A-State) Parking and Motor Vehicle (P/MV) Regulations is the responsibility of the Department of Parking Services (DPS) and the University Police Department (UPD). All regulations are enforced 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, unless noted otherwise in the regulations. The regulations apply to all parking lots, parking structures, on- and off -street parking stalls, streets, and properties on the A-State campus.

This document is the official statement regarding parking regulations on the A-State campus. If in doubt about any parking or motor vehicle issue, contact DPS.

DISTRIBUTION OF PARKING PERMITS

The purchase, issuance, and distribution of parking permits is primarily conducted through the Parking eBiz portal which is accessed through the Pack Portal. Limited quantities of selected parking permits are available from the DPS office on the A-State campus.
Acquisition of a parking permit requires the registration of only one vehicle with DPS; however, the parking permit may be displayed from any vehicle parked by the permit owner. Vehicle information provided by a registrant is subject to verification. Completion of vehicle and parking permit registration includes acknowledgement by the registrant that the registrant is responsible for knowing and following the campus parking regulations. Vehicles are defined as any self-propelled vehicle having two or more wheels.

 

REPOSITIONABLE STICKERS, HANG TAGS, PLACARDS AND PRINTABLE PERMITS

Persons securing a repositionable sticker, portable hang tag, placard, or printable permit must register the primary vehicle from which the permit will be displayed; however, the parking permits are movable to any vehicle parked by a permit owner without advance notice to DPS. Vehicle information should be updated with DPS only if there is a change in primary vehicle information. Updates to primary vehicle information should be made by completing an online vehicle information update through the Parking eBiz portal.

PERMIT GUIDELINES

Annual parking permits for 2026-27 are generally valid until 12:00 a.m. on September 1, 2027 unless otherwise noted by DPS.

Student parking permit fees billed to the Fall 2026 term are non-refundable after September 3, 2026. Fees for student permits billed to the Spring 2027 term are non-refundable after January 18, 2027. The 2026-27 parking permits purchased on May 1, 2027, or later will be available at one-half the regular fee amount. Fees for 2026-27 student permits purchased on May 1, 2027, or later are non-refundable after June 7, 2027.

All vehicles parked on the A-State campus must have a valid parking permit issued by DPS properly displayed except for vehicles parked by visitors and invited guests that are parked in designated visitor parking or paid metered or parking garage spaces. Faculty, staff, and students are never considered to be campus visitors or guests for any parking purpose.

Service providers, vendors, contracted employees, or other individuals who work or provide services on the A-State campus and receive compensation for the work or services they perform are never considered to be visitors or guests for any parking purpose and are required to purchase and display valid A-State parking permits when parking a vehicle on the A-State campus. Faculty, staff, and students must display a valid A-State parking permit from any vehicle they park on the A-State campus. Students who are registered at another ASU System campus but are also registered for one or more courses at A-State must purchase and display a valid A-State parking permit when parking a vehicle on the A-State campus. Students who are registered for courses at another ASU System campus and one or more of those courses are held on the A-State campus must purchase and display a valid A-State parking permit when parking a vehicle on the A-State campus.

Parking permits may not be altered in any manner. Parking permits may not be displayed in a manner or format not approved by DPS.

 

Repositionable sticker permits must be displayed right side up (bar code at bottom) from the inside of the vehicle windshield in the lower left (driver side) corner of the windshield. The sticker may not be displayed sideways or upside down. The VIN number of the vehicle may not be obstructed by the sticker permit. The entire front surface of the permit must be visible. The permit must be affixed to the interior surface of the windshield using the inherent adhesiveness of the front surface of the permit. Alternate methods of display are not permissible including display from the vehicle dash. No more than one repositionable permit may be displayed from a vehicle at the same time. Repositionable sticker permits may be moved from vehicle to vehicle by the permit holder without contacting DPS. However, changes in primary vehicle information should be submitted to DPS through the Parking eBiz portal.

Hang tag permits must be displayed vertically from a correctly installed rear view mirror with the front surface (surface with permit number) facing the windshield. Hang tags may not be displayed upside down or sideways. The entire front surface of the permit must be visible with no obstructions such as air fresheners, leis, sun visors, etc. The regulations prohibit the display of a hang tag permit from any part of a vehicle other than a correctly installed rear view mirror. Vehicles equipped with windshield tinting, certain rear-view mirrors, and other objects that prohibit the normal viewing and function of a hang tag permit must have another type of valid permit displayed. Also, vehicles not equipped with a correctly installed rear view mirror must have another type of valid permit displayed. Hang tag permits may be moved from vehicle to vehicle without contacting DPS. However, changes in primary vehicle information should be submitted to DPS through the Parking eBiz portal.

Parking a vehicle on the A-State campus that is not a vehicle registered with DPS does not mitigate the requirement to display a valid and current A-State-approved parking permit. As previously noted, repositionable stickers and hang tags are transferrable to any vehicle without contacting DPS. Vehicles operated by faculty, staff, or students must have a valid parking permit displayed. Faculty, staff, and students may never park a vehicle in visitor parking or other unauthorized zones even if a particular vehicle is not registered with DPS. The institutional status of the driver (faculty, staff, student, vendor/service provider, visitor/guest, etc.) rather than the registration status of the vehicle determines the authorized parking status of the vehicle. In the absence of a standard faculty, staff, or student parking permit, temporary printable parking permits are available online through the Parking eBiz portal.

Dashboard placard permits and printable permits are to be properly displayed from the driver side dash as directed in the instructions printed on the reverse side of the placard or on the printable permit.

Replacement parking permits for repositionable stickers and hang tags are available for lost or stolen permits when permit owners file a lost permit form or validated theft reports with UPD or another official law enforcement agency. Copies of theft reports must be submitted to DPS to receive replacement for stolen permits. Replacement permit fees for lost permits and permits stolen without forced entry are available at the replacement fee for the first occurrence. Subsequent occurrences require replacement at full cost. The replacement fee applies to all occurrences of permits stolen due to forced entry (must be verified by police inspection indicated on police report). Following is the replacement fee schedule: FS: $25.00, SE: $20.00, SD: $20.00.

A-State parking permits are the responsibility of the corresponding registrant and must be removed prior to sale or transfer of a vehicle or upon termination of employment or withdrawal from the university. Permit registrants are responsible for all parking citations issued to vehicles from which their assigned permit is displayed. Students who withdraw or employees who are terminated from the university must return their parking permits to DPS to have their parking permits deactivated. December or May graduates who will not be registered students at A-State during the academic term following graduation may either continue to park as students using student permits (until permit expiration date) or may be designated as visitors for parking (permit to be deactivated and considered invalid).

Students must contact DPS and return the parking permit to receive a change in status from student to visitor. Otherwise, permit holders are considered to be students for parking purposes until active permits expire. Unless students withdraw from the university, they are considered to be students for parking purposes throughout the current academic year even if they are not registered for classes during a particular academic term.

Falsifying personal, vehicle, or permit registration information, unauthorized use of any parking permit, display of photocopies or other objects in lieu of authorized permits, or unauthorized modification of a parking permit will result in a falsifying information parking citation and disciplinary referral.

Permit registrants are responsible for all citations and fines issued to vehicles displaying their permits even if the operator of the vehicle is someone other than the permit registrant. In the absence of displayed A-State parking permits, registered vehicle owners are responsible for all citations issued to their registered vehicles. A registered vehicle is any vehicle that is registered with DPS and/or registered with any state agency. When vehicles are immobilized (booted) with a wheel lock (boot), the driver of the vehicle must be verified by presentation of an A-State ID card/mobile ID or driver’s license before the wheel lock will be removed. The identified driver presenting an ID to DPS or UPD personnel at a booted vehicle will be responsible for all corresponding parking citations issued to the vehicle. If the identified driver of the vehicle has a university financial account, the corresponding parking fines will be billed to their account. If the driver of the vehicle does not have a university financial account, payment of the parking fines through an online payment link will be required before the wheel lock is removed.

PARKING PERMITS

Student Permits
SD - $100.00 
All students who park a vehicle on the A-State campus are required to display a valid student (SD) parking permit.

Vehicles displaying properly validated SD permits may be parked in commuter zones or in resident zones per the regulations stated below for each type of zone. All metered or garage parking must be paid. Payment of metered or garage parking does not mitigate the requirement to display a valid parking permit. Students with contract parking spaces must display a current parking permit validated for their assigned contract parking lot and space.

All students are limited to only one active permit. Students may not have more than one active permit registered to their parking accounts. Exception: Students may have both a standard vehicle permit, a motorcycle permit, and/or a temporary 8-day or 1-day permit active at the same time.

All motorcycles, motor bikes, scooters, etc. must display a current motorcycle permit. Motorcycles, motor bikes, scooters, etc. may be parked in regular commuter vehicular parking spaces or in designated motorcycle zones. All metered and garage parking must be paid.

BP permits are issued to service providers and vendors who are not faculty, staff, or students and who will receive or potentially receive payment for services rendered on or for the A-State campus with the exception of activities coordinated through the construction and project services offices of Facilities Management. Examples include but are not limited to sales, equipment maintenance/repair, vendor services, cleaning services, etc. Providers of local delivery services of pizza and other non-vendor food orders, flowers, balloons, small packages, freight, etc. are not required to display a business permit when operating a vehicle that clearly displays the name of the business with an official logo or other item that clearly identifies a vehicle is being used for local delivery. If the name of the business is not displayed, a business permit is required. Vehicles displaying a business permit may be parked in faculty/staff parking zones and commuter parking and in residence zones if the service provided relates to a facility in a residence zone. BP permits also allow parking in service/delivery zones and approved loading docks for loading/unloading only (30 minute time limit). Vehicles must be promptly removed when load/unload activities are complete. All metered and garage parking must be paid.

Each family unit in The Village must purchase at least one A-State student or employee parking permit. Additional vehicles may be validated for Village parking by displaying CR permits.

Student Health Center Permits
HC - No Charge

HC permits allow students with qualifying illness or injury to park in faculty/staff parking during the period that the permits are valid. The permits do not allow for parking in disability parking spaces. Student (SD) permits must also be displayed. No additional privileges are provided by HC permits.

PARKING SPACES. All A-State parking spaces are designated with industry standard traffic and parking stall striping like that found in most parking lots in most communities. Some parking stalls are head-in (striping perpendicular to the flow of traffic), head-in angled (striping angled to the flow of traffic), and parallel (striping parallel to the flow of traffic). In gravel lots, official parking spaces are designated with concrete wheel stops. Parking in areas where there are no parking stalls designated with striping or wheel stops is prohibited. This includes such actions as parking along the curbs of parking lots, along the curbs or sides of streets, or on the grass, dirt, sidewalks, or other surface of campus properties that are not designated for parking with striping or wheel stops.

Resident zones are specific to adjacent residence facilities or neighborhoods they service and are indicated with vertical signage. Some residence zones may also be protected by gate access equipment. Mechanical failure of gate access equipment (raised or broken gate arm) or absence of gates for other reasons does not nullify the residence zone restrictions as indicated on the posted vertical signage at the entrances.

RESTRICTED PARKING FOR CONTRACT PARKING CUSTOMERS on weekdays between 5:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. (or 5:00 p.m. in some locations as noted by signage). Surface contract parking lots are marked with signage and individuallynumbered spaces. Garage contract spaces are individually marked with signage. Parking permits validated for contract parking must be displayed in all contract zones. The absence or failure of gate access equipment (raised or broken gate arm, etc.) does not nullify the posted restrictions for contract parking. The fine for unauthorized parking in contract parking spaces is $150.00. Unauthorized vehicles in all contract zones will be immediately towed.

FIRE ZONES

RESTRICTED PARKING FOR OFFICIAL EMERGENCY VEHICLES in the event of an actual emergency or emergency drill. Fire zones are marked with red pavement markings or curbs. The fine for unauthorized parking in fire zones is $200.00. Unauthorized vehicles may also be subject to towing.

PEDESTRIAN ZONES

Pedestrian zones are marked with signage and/or white hatched painted lines. Pedestrian zones also include all campus sidewalks, pedestrian bridges, or other infrastructure that facilitates pedestrian access and traffic. The fine for unauthorized parking in pedestrian zones is $35.00.

ACCESSIBLE PARKING

Vehicles parked in accessible parking spaces at A-State must display a current disability license plate, hang tag, sticker, or placard issued by any state. This includes disabled veteran license plates (DV or DAV plates only). Faculty, staff, and students must also display a current A-State parking permit and an accessible validation sticker issued by Parking Services. Employees or students with disabilities are also authorized to park in faculty/staff zones with the permit restrictions noted above for accessible spaces.

Please note that faculty/staff spaces are not official accessible spaces and therefore do not have the required dimensions, ramp access, and proximity to accessible routes to accommodate persons using mobility devices. Faculty/staff spaces are simply offered as a courtesy to students and employees with disabilities who choose this option. Accessible parking spaces designated “van accessible” are exclusively dedicated for persons using mechanical lifts, wheelchairs, and other mobility devices. Disabled persons who do not use mobility devices are not authorized to park in spaces designated as “van accessible.” Many surface parking lots offer “universal design” spaces that have the dimensions needed to accommodate vehicles with mechanical lifts and other mobility devices. These spaces are also open for persons with disabilities who do not use mobility devices and are not restricted as van accessible.

Parking in accessible spaces without proper permits is a serious offense. Citations issued for this violation carry a $225.00 fine for the first violation and a $250.00 fine for the second and subsequent violations. Violations may also result in towing. Citations are also issued for not displaying a validation sticker, for unauthorized use of “van accessible” spaces, and for blocking accessible ramp spaces and recessed street and sidewalk access areas, curb cuts, etc. Unauthorized transfer or use of a disability license or permit by a party other than the permit registrant is a violation of Arkansas state law. Offenders will receive citations. Misuse of disability permits will result in confiscation of the permits. The confiscated permits will be returned to the appropriate state office.

CONTRACT PARKING

All contract parking holders must display an A-State parking permit validated for contract parking when parking in contract zones and spaces.

Local delivery vehicles are permitted to be parked in designated service/delivery zones, approved loading docks, commuter parking, metered and garage parking (must be paid), and other non-restricted areas that do not interfere with the safe operation of the campus parking infrastructure. Delivery vehicles are not permitted in fire lanes, streets, contract parking, or other restricted parking or non-parking areas.

TOWING, IMMOBILIZING, AND IMPOUNDING OF VEHICLES

The University reserves the right to immobilize, tow, or impound any vehicle without a current parking permit; parking in violation of current parking regulations or Arkansas law; or parked so as to create a hazard to traffic or pedestrians. Vehicles associated with previous unpaid parking citations may also be immobilized, towed, or impounded. See all current parking and motor vehicle regulations.

MOVING VIOLATIONS

Moving violations include all traffic laws as stated in the Arkansas Motor Vehicle and Traffic Laws and State Highway Commission Regulations. The official A-State citation will be sufficient as a summons for violation of these rules and regulations. In lieu of a university citation, the violator may be issued a uniform traffic ticket which will be adjudicated in municipal court.

OFFENSES AND PENALTIES

Operating a motor vehicle in any manner which creates a disturbance on campus may be considered a traffic violation. This includes excessive use of sound systems, city ordinance/officer's discretion, horn, illegal exhaust systems, squealing of tires, or placing pedestrians or other drivers in a hazardous situation.

APPEALS

An appeal of any campus parking or motor vehicle citation, or any fines or fees resulting therefrom, must be filed online through Parking Services eBiz on the Pack Portal within seven (7) days of the date of issue of the citation.

FINES

The responsibility for payment of fines incurred for moving and parking violations rests with the registrant. If A-State vehicle registration is incomplete, responsibility rests with the owner and/or operator of the vehicle or driver responding to an immobilized (booted) vehicle. Persons violating the parking and motor vehicle regulations will be fined according to the university's system of violations listed below. The university reserves the right to revise the violations list and fines at any time.
