Faculty and Staff Parking

Faculty and staff parking permits are available based on employment status, permit eligibility, and parking availability.

Current faculty and staff parking permit options include:

• Employee Non-Reserved Permit (yellow): $565 annually
• Employee Reserved Permit (red): $900 annually
• Temporary Employee Permit (purple): $50 monthly or $240 per semester

Annual parking permits are valid for the parking year beginning August 1 and ending July 31 of the following year.

Temporary Employee Permits (purple) are valid only through the expiration date printed on the parking permit.

Purchase of a parking permit does not guarantee a specific parking space, except for an assigned Employee Reserved (red) space. A permit authorizes the permit holder to seek parking in areas approved for their permit type.

Faculty and staff may purchase parking permits through the Parking icon on myEOL, through the NCCU Parking Portal, or as otherwise directed by NCCU Police - Parking Services.

Eligible permanent faculty and staff may pay for permits through payroll deduction, where available. Temporary employees, including adjunct faculty, must pay for parking permits in advance and are not eligible for payroll deduction.

Before parking on campus, faculty and staff must ensure that:

• Their vehicle is registered with NCCU Police - Parking Services.
• Their license plate information is entered correctly.
• Their permit is properly displayed.
• They are parked in an area approved for their permit type.
• All unpaid parking charges have been paid in full.

Faculty and staff may register up to two vehicles with NCCU Police - Parking Services. Only one permit will be issued, and the permit must be displayed in the vehicle parked on campus on any given day.

Employees with unpaid parking charges, including late charges, may not purchase or renew a parking permit until the balance is paid in full.

Employees who are leaving the University or canceling a parking permit must return the permit to NCCU Police - Parking Services and complete the required payroll deduction cancellation process, if applicable.

Employees who elected payroll deduction remain responsible for payment until the permit is returned and the payroll deduction cancellation process is completed.

Any gate cards, electronic gate openers, or other access devices issued for NCCU parking areas remain the property of the University and must be returned upon request or separation from the University.

Employee Non-Reserved (yellow) permits authorize faculty and staff to park in designated Employee Non-Reserved (yellow) parking areas.

Employee Non-Reserved (yellow) permit holders may park in any available Employee Non-Reserved (yellow) space, except when designated lots or areas are closed for special events, campus operations, construction, athletic events, or other University needs.

Employee Non-Reserved (yellow) permits do not authorize parking in Reserved (red) spaces, ADA-accessible spaces without proper credentials, ParkMobile spaces without an active paid session, fire lanes, loading zones, or any area not specifically designated for parking.

Faculty and staff are encouraged to visit the NCCU parking map to determine which lots are available for Employee Non-Reserved (yellow) parking:

Employee Reserved (red) permits authorize the assigned permit holder to park in one specific reserved space on campus.

Reserved (red) spaces are enforced 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Only the employee assigned to that specific reserved space may park in the space.

Reserved (red) permit holders may not park in other campus lots, including Employee Non-Reserved (yellow) lots, unless a limited exception has been approved by NCCU Police - Parking Services or authorized through an official Parking Notice.

Reserved (red) permits may not be transferred, loaned, or used by another employee, student, visitor, or guest. Unauthorized use of a reserved permit or reserved space may result in parking charges, immobilization, towing, revocation of parking privileges, and/or forfeiture of the permit.

Parking permits must be displayed at all times while parked on campus.

Permit hangtags should be placed on the rearview mirror facing outward. If the vehicle does not have a rearview mirror, or if the mirror mounting prevents proper display, the permit must be displayed face-up on the passenger-side dashboard.

Use of windshield shades or other vehicle accessories does not remove the requirement to display the permit so that it is visible.

Vehicles parked without a visible permit may be ticketed and/or towed at the owner’s expense.

Faculty and staff are responsible for finding a legal parking space. Lack of available parking in a preferred lot or lack of knowledge of parking rules is not an excuse for a parking violation.

Faculty and staff may not park in:

• Reserved (red) spaces unless assigned to that specific reserved space
• Student parking areas unless otherwise authorized by NCCU Police - Parking Services or through an official Parking Notice
• ADA-accessible spaces without proper credentials
• Fire lanes or emergency access areas
• Travel lanes, driveways, intersections, sidewalks, landscaped areas, or loading zones
• ParkMobile spaces or other pay lots without an active paid session
• Any area not clearly marked or designated for parking

Vehicles must be parked fully within the marked parking space. All parts of the vehicle must remain within the designated space.

NEW: For enforcement purposes, vehicles must pull forward into parking spaces so that the license plate is visible from the travel lane. Vehicles must not be backed into parking spaces unless otherwise authorized by NCCU Police - Parking Services

Faculty and staff permits are not valid in ParkMobile spaces or other pay lots.

Vehicles parked in ParkMobile areas or other pay lots must have an active paid parking session, even if the vehicle displays a valid NCCU parking permit. Vehicles parked in these areas without an active paid session may be subject to parking charges, immobilization, and/or towing at the owner’s expense.

ParkMobile parking is located along Nelson Street in Zone 5002.

Faculty and staff who need ADA-accessible parking must display both:

1. A valid NCCU parking permit; and
2. A valid state-issued ADA placard or license plate.

An ADA placard or license plate alone does not authorize parking in NCCU permitted lots. The NCCU parking permit must be issued to the same individual to whom the ADA placard or license plate belongs.

Vehicles parked in ADA-accessible spaces without both required credentials may be subject to parking charges and/or towing.

Designated faculty and staff parking areas may be closed or modified for special events, including graduation, football games, campus programs, construction, or other University operations.

When temporary parking changes are necessary, NCCU Police - Parking Services will issue a Parking Notice to the campus community. Active and recent Parking Notices may also be viewed at:

https://www.nccu.edu/administration/university-police/parking-services/parking-notices

Faculty and staff are responsible for reading and following all Parking Notices and posted signage.

Vehicles that fail to follow posted restrictions or Parking Notice instructions may be ticketed, immobilized, or towed at the owner’s expense.

Faculty and staff may appeal parking violations through the Parking Portal within the required appeal period. Appeals must be submitted according to the instructions provided by Parking Services.

The decision of the Parking Ticket/Citation Appeal Board is final.
