Parking Rules

University of San Francisco General Parking Rules and Regulations

All drivers on campus are subject to University of San Francisco parking regulations. Each driver is responsible for knowing and abiding by these regulations. The rules and regulations apply 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

1. A valid University of San Francisco issued parking permit is required to park on University of San Francisco property. Permits are only valid through the expiration date and/or time displayed on them.
2. Permits are for the sole use of the person named in the parking permit application. Any attempt to transfer, loan, or resell the permit will result in confiscation of the permit and denies the right to obtain future permits with the University.
3. Permits may be returned for a full refund minus 15% administration fee during the first 3 weeks of the semester. No refunds are available after the end of the third week of the semester. All requests must be made to the Operations and Parking Manager. The permit and original receipt must be provided. Processing of any refund may take a minimum of ten business days. Any refunds will be processed according to the original method of payment.
4. PARKING PERMITS DO NOT GUARANTEE YOUR VEHICLE A PARKING SPACE. Please be aware of your parking PAN number and the parking lots/garages you are allowed to park in.
5. You are responsible for this permit; do not lose it. A $100 replacement fee will be in effect for lost, misplaced or stolen permits. If any of the following occur: you purchase a new vehicle, your windshield becomes damaged or your permit becomes damaged, please bring in the permit to the Department of Public Safety and it will be replaced at no additional cost. Without the original permit a $100.00 replacement fee will be assessed.
6. A copy of vehicle(s) registration is required in order to process your parking permit application. It is the vehicle owner’s responsibility that permits are placed on the correct vehicle listed on the permit. Altered permits or permits not matching the vehicle’s license plate that the permit is placed on may be subjected to a $150.00 fee or confiscation of the permit.
7. Faculty and staff are eligible to add a second vehicle for an additional fee of $10.00. Vehicle information must be provided for the second permit. This policy is intended for the sole purpose of providing extra convenience for faculty and staff who frequently use a secondary vehicle. The second permit is not intended for family members, students, or co-workers. Vehicles cannot be on campus at the same time. Faculty and staff who are in violation of this policy will be denied future parking permits and subjected to a $150 fine.
8. Parking is permitted only in areas identified as legal parking spaces by white stall lines on both sides or in front of vehicle. Parking in an unidentified, illegal parking space is prohibited.
9. Disabled spaces marked with blue and white disabled signs are intended only for the use of persons displaying proper DMV and University disabled permits. Parking, obstructing, or preventing access to a disabled stall is unlawful.
10. The campus speed limit is 10 miles per hour.
11. Pedestrians must always be given the right of way on campus.
12. No parking or stopping in fire lanes, no parking areas, and restricted zones.
