Principles

E-mail is the official communication method for students and employees. (Sections 609 & 158.1)

Overview – The intent of these parking regulations is to help control and reduce the amount of illegal parking on the NDSU campus by holding offenders accountable for their actions. Illegal parking reduces the amount of available parking and is unfair to those who have purchased NDSU parking permits and adhere to the NDSU parking regulations.

Any motorized vehicle operated on the property of North Dakota State University is subject to all regulations governing parking at the University. The operation of a motorized vehicle on University property is a privilege granted by NDSU and is not an inherent right of any employee, student or guest. Since campus parking is limited, employees and students should carefully consider their needs prior to applying for parking privileges. Said privileges may be denied, revoked, suspended or modified by Parking and Transportations Services.

All employees and students must comply with parking rules, these regulations and the NDSU Code of Conduct Policy Manual 151 as part of their employment, appointment or enrollment. The regulations also apply to guests, vendors and contractors and are considered part of the terms, conditions and permissions to be on the NDSU campus.

All employees, students or guests who choose to park on NDSU property must have a university parking permit or park in one of seven campus (guest) pay lots. A parking permit identifies an individual has been granted the privilege of properly parking a vehicle on University property. A parking permit does not guarantee a parking space will be available on the campus. Failure to purchase a permit may result in citation fees or other disciplinary actions at the owner’s expense. Parking enforcement is conducted year-round, 24-hours per day, unless otherwise announced.

The university may amend this regulation, in whole or in part, at any time. Advanced public notice of changes will be provided, when possible.

Applicability – This regulation applies to the drivers, owners, or registrants of all motor vehicles and non-motorized vehicles on the North Dakota State University campus. The person or entity purchasing the parking permit is accountable for all citations and parking related towing, impound and immobilization fees issued against the vehicle.

Proof – The issuance of a citation constitutes sufficient evidence a regulation violation occurred at the location, date and time referenced on the citation.

It is impossible to determine whether or not the citation was on the vehicle when the driver returned. A presumption will therefore govern a citation placed on a vehicle will be there when the driver returns.

When it is determined an NDSU student or employee (past or present) has the same physical address or last name as the registered owner of a vehicle with outstanding citations, a review will be performed to determine the responsible party. Based on the information obtained from NDSU and the State Department of Motor Vehicles where the vehicle is licensed, the NDSU employee or student may be held responsible for those citations, rather than the registered owner. Any vehicle found to be registered to a relative of a current or previous NDSU student or employee will become the responsibility of that current or previous NDSU student or employee, unless the registered owner takes responsibility for the parking citation by making payment in full. When no current or previous NDSU student or employee is found, the registered owner/leaser/renter of the vehicle at the time of the citation will become responsible for the parking citation. NDSU students and employees are responsible to inform guests of the NDSU parking regulations, or may be held responsible for paying parking citations incurred by their guests.

Liability for Protection of Motorized and Non-Motorized Vehicles – NDSU, its officers, and employees are not liable for the care and/or protection of any motorized, non-motorized vehicle or their contents at any time while it is being operated or parked on/in any area subject to the University’s jurisdiction. Any theft or damage to vehicles should be reported to the NDSU Campus Police at (701) 231-8998.

Procedures – Motor vehicles may park only in locations designated as parking areas by signs and/or street/pavement markings, except when otherwise directed by Parking and Transportations Services or law enforcement officers. Motor vehicles may only park in spaces for which the permit is valid. Valid locations are listed on the permit – for any location, zone, or area not listed on the permit, the permit is inherently not valid. Permits must be clearly visible and displayed in accordance with the instructions stated by Parking and Transportation Services or as detailed on the back of NDSU parking permits. Any vehicle parked in violation in which the driver exits the vehicle is subject to a citation.

Severability – If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of these parking regulations is, for any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by any court or body of competent jurisdiction for any reason, such portion shall be deemed a separate, distinct and independent provision and such holding shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of these parking regulations.

In the absence of a sign at the entrance to a lot, or affixed to parking lot light poles, refer to the NDSU Campus Parking Map.

Parking is prohibited on campus grassed spaces, sidewalks, fire lanes, driving lanes, no parking zones, campus streets and all locations not designated as parking areas by signs and/or pavement markings.

General Parking Information

  1. All motor vehicles parking on the NDSU campus are required to have a valid NDSU parking permit displayed and must meet North Dakota Motor Vehicle Department requirements. Students and employees may purchase one (1) parking permit per academic year. Students and employees shall pay any outstanding parking citations in full before they will be allowed to purchase a new NDSU parking permit. NDSU parking permits are the property of NDSU. Authorization through the Passport mobile parking platform or at a pay kiosk satisfies NDSU’s parking permit requirement in the pay lots.
  2. Purchase of a parking permit does not guarantee the holder a parking space. Sharing NDSU parking permits is never authorized.
  3. The annual parking fee for full-time or part-time students (undergraduate, graduate, research assistants) and full-time or part-time employees (adjunct lecture, postdoctoral, visiting scholars) is set by the NDSU President after recommendations are received from the Campus Space and Facilities Committee of the University Senate. There is a $30.00 fee charged for the replacement of parking permits.
  4. It is preferred permits be hung on rearview mirrors, alternatively it can be displayed on the driver’s side dashboard, face up. Improperly displaying your permit, even when parking in your assigned lot, will result in a citation being issued. Permits must be fully visible to be valid. Refer to the permit placement instructions on the back of your NDSU issued student or employee parking permit. Temporary permits must be printed and displayed face up on the driver’s side dash.
  5. Falsifying vehicle registration information, reproducing, defacing, forging, altering, obscuring, transferring, and/or retaining and using a found permit is considered theft of services. The vehicle may be subject to impoundment; criminal charges and/or University sanctions may be filed against the owner/driver in accordance with NDSU Policy, Section 169, and part 3.28 of the Code of Student Conduct.
  6. Drivers using NDSU parking permits are required to keep accurate vehicle registration information on file with NDSU Parking and Transportation Services. Drivers shall provide the following vehicle information: license plate number, state, make, model, color, and year using the on-line vehicle registration form. In the absence of a license plate number the last eight digits of the VIN number must be used. Failure to update and keep accurate vehicle registration may result in an administrative fee.
  7. It is the driver’s responsibility to inform the NDSU Parking and Transportation Services if a vehicle listed under their account is sold. A bill of sale can be sent to ndsu.parking@ndsu.edu and must include: vehicle information (license plate number, make, and model), date of sale, first and last name of buyer, mailing address of buyer, and be signed by both buyer and seller.
  8. NDSU does not allow long-term storage of personal property or the parking of inoperative, junked, abandoned, or vehicles being advertised for sale in campus parking lots, campus streets or vehicle cut-in parking areas on any part of the NDSU campus.
  9. When parking in an NDSU campus parking lot, vehicles must be properly parked within the painted lines of an authorized parking space. Failure to do so may result in a hazardous parking citation being issued.
  10. When parking in a NDSU campus parking lot, vehicles must be properly parked within the painted lines of an authorized parking space. Failure to do so may result in a hazardous parking citation being issued.

Accessible (Mobility-Impaired) Parking

  1. Drivers who want to use university-designated mobility-impaired parking areas must obtain a State Mobility-Impaired Permit from the Department of Motor Vehicles.
