First Year Students

Due to limited space and the high demand for parking on campus, first year students to CSU Maritime Academy are not automatically eligible to park on campus. The following is required to purchase a student semester parking permit: 

  1. First year students that are approved for off-campus living by Housing and Residence Life are eligible to purchase a Student General semester parking permit. Housing and Residential Life sends the approval lists to the Cashier’s Office, allowing these students to purchase the parking permit online through their student account.
  2. There is a designated parking lot on campus, first come first served, that first year students can apply for a semester parking permit. Access to Parking Lot-O Reserved Spaces and Lot-F first come first served. Please send your request to parking@csum.edu for review.
  3. The restrictions for a first year student may be waived through the Parking Waiver Program where sufficient needs exist (medical, veteran, off campus employment). Please send your request to parking@csum.edu for review. 

 

Continuing Students Or First Year Students APPROVED To Park On Campus

The student semester Decal Permits may be purchased online through a student's account, usually a month before the start of the semester. The University Cashier's Office coordinates and facilitates the sale and distribution of semester Decal Permits. Permits for Fall and Spring semesters can be purchased at the same time. Permit fees are payable in a lump sum only. There is no deferment for financial aid.

Eligible students may purchase a semester Decal Permit and a Motorcycle Permit. The permit is not transferable to any other vehicle or individual. Current permit rates are posted on the "Types and Fees" web page.

A permit does not ensure the user of a parking space. The responsibility of finding a legal parking space rests with the motor vehicle operator.
