Vehicle Registration

All faculty, staff, students, and visitors who park vehicles on University property must register their vehicles with Parking Services and display a parking permit when parked on campus. Commuters who use more than one vehicle must register all vehicles with Parking Services and can then move the valid permit between the registered vehicles. Registration can be accomplished through our Web site, by mail, by phone, or at the Parking Services office.

All parking permits are the property of Washington University. Permits are to be returned immediately upon termination of employment or registration, or at the request of the University.

All parking permits must be obtained and used according to departmental rules and regulations.

Registration
The person to whom a vehicle is registered will be held fully responsible for all violations assigned to that vehicle.

When a registrant disposes of or sells a vehicle, the permit should be removed and Parking Services notified so the registrant will no longer be held responsible for tickets the vehicle might receive.

All vehicles that belong to the immediate family of a University faculty, staff, or student, whether registered with the University or not, will be considered the responsibility of that individual. Any parking violations charged against that vehicle will be the responsibility of the individual.

Unregistered vehicles with outstanding violations will be identified through the vehicle plate information using the state registration system. An additional fine of $15.00 could be applied if a vehicle is not registered with Parking Services, making this additional step necessary.

Freshman resident students are not permitted to bring a vehicle to the Washington University campus. Violation of this and other University policies could be a violation of Student Judicial Code.

Resident student other than freshmen are eligible for a resident student permit. See Permits.

Commuter Students are eligible for a yellow student permit. This permit is valid on the Danforth Campus but not valid in brown or blue zones at any time. See Permits.

Graduate students are eligible for the student yellow permit. These permits are valid yellow zones, but never valid in blue or brown. See Permits.
