Decals

A decal is required for any and every vehicle parked on-campus, including but not limited to: resident and non-resident students, University faculty or staff, and visitors.

Visitors can obtain a temporary permit from the Parking Services office during regular business hours, or from Campus Police outside of those hours. A visitor is designated as anyone who is neither a student, faculty or staff member of the CNU community. Information regarding Visitor parking is available in the Visitor section.

Student, faculty, and staff decals are valid for the entire span of the academic year.

Decal Placement

Decals, with the exception of Temporary Permits, are to be displayed on the outside of the vehicle, either on the left side, lower corner of the rear window of the vehicle OR the left side of the rear bumper.

CNU Decal Placement

Decals that are not properly displayed are in violation of the decal placement rule, therefore making that vehicle citable for an Improper Display citation.

Decal purchases

Decals are on sale beginning no less than a week before the start of each academic semester.

Decals purchased at the beginning of the fall semester must be purchased for the entire academic year; fall semester only passes are not available. For students planning on graduating in December, there is an appeal process to obtain a refund, equivalent to one semester’s decal fee of that academic year.

For non-resident students, faculty or staff members who wish to get a second decal at no additional charge, may do so by providing Parking Services with the vehicle registration for both vehicles (photocopies are acceptable, registrations will not be kept and are only necessary for proof of documentation) showing that the vehicles are either registered at the same address or to a person with the same last name.

Temporary permits

If a student, faculty or staff member who has a current valid decal on his/her vehicle is operating a vehicle other than the permitted one on campus, he/she can obtain a temporary pass for the substitute vehicle at no additional charge once providing PTS with proof of identification and the vehicle registration.

The pass will be valid for a period no more than two weeks, and is valid only for the lots, which your regular decal is valid. Members of the CNU community that have chosen not to purchase a decal, may obtain a temporary pass at the cost of $4.00* a day, for no more then a two week period, only ONCE during the academic year.

Outside of those two weeks, the operator of the vehicle is responsible for purchasing a regular decal if he/she desires to park on-campus. Failure to do so will result in the vehicle being cited for not having a valid decal, a fine of $20.00 in addition to the full price of the decal.
