Freshman Residential Parking Exception for Medical Condition
Subject to space availability, residential freshman who demonstrate a compelling need for personal transportation to attend frequent, scheduled, IN-PERSON medical or psychological appointments may qualify for a parking exception. Appointments must be scheduled at least weekly IN-PERSON and not on an “as-needed” basis. Appointments cannot be virtual (telehealth, teletherapy, telemed). Approval is given for no more than a semester at a time. Requests are reviewed by the Director of Student Health Services.

However this does NOT give you permission to park in a handicapped parking space (see Handicapped Parking section below), Service Vehicle space, sidewalk/walkway, or roadway. You will be ticketed for parking in these areas.
