  Residents who feel they have extenuating circumstances that may warrant an exception to the Student Housing Parking Policy may submit a request for an exception to Transportation Services. Appeals for reasons such as the distance one lives from home, work/class obligations, vehicle ownership, social activities, etc. will not be considered. Students who are granted an exception shall be required to park in a specific, remote parking area and will not have full campus parking privileges. An "RES" permit may be purchased for the term authorized and will provide parking in non-restricted spaces on Garrod Drive West (RL permit area) or the Hopkins District Parking Lot. After 5 p.m., “RES” permits are honored on the main campus in unrestricted permit spaces.
  
  A request form must be completed and submitted to Transportation Services along with a statement that details the need to have a vehicle on campus, supporting documentation to substantiate the written statement, and a copy of the vehicle registration. All forms, statements and documentation must be complete and are subject to audit and verification. Transportation Services will review and respond to requests within 2 weeks from the date of receipt. Exceptions will be granted only if there is a legitimate, documented need that other/public transportation options cannot accommodate. Residents will be required to provide Transportation Services with proof of vehicle registration at the time of permit purchase, and the vehicle license plate number will be recorded on the permit. Students are required to contact Transportation Services if their circumstances change for reevaluation of the exception. Students who misuse permits or falsify information may have current/future permit privileges revoked, waive any right to a refund, and/or be subject to other sanctions including referral to Student Judicial Affairs.
