Parking Services confirmed the overselling of permits to Lot 30 on 7th Street and James Ave., but is taking steps to minimize fallout from the error.
Director of Parking and Transportation Services Matt Penney said that the new system glitched while distributing permits, causing the oversell.

Since the school year began, there have been a few changes in parking. The addition of 100 faculty parking spaces, the loss of 200 student parking spaces and tickets being handed out for keeping last year’s parking permit on your windshield in addition to this year’s permit.

You read that right. Students are being ticketed for having the current and past year’s stickers on their windshield. The first offense is just a warning, but the next offense costs $10 and every ticket after that comes with a $25 fine.

If you have received a warning for having last year’s parking permit on your windshield in addition to the current sticker, and have yet to take it off, there is a good chance you’ll soon receive a more substantial reprimand.

At the start of the school year, students began receiving parking notices for expired stickers still affixed to the front of their windshield.

The fine amount listed on first offense notices is $0. However, second offenses will cost the car owner $10 and offenses after that will be $25 each.
