Your license plate acts as your permit and therefore must face the drive aisle. Cameras, mounted to university service vehicles, capture the plate information and check to ensure the plate is associated to an active virtual permit and is in the correct location.

Accounts will be limited to five active license plates at any one time. However, vehicles can be added or deactivated from the virtual permit at any time using the online portal.

Semester or yearly permits may have up to five vehicles registered to them, with only one vehicle displaying the permit parked on campus at any given time. Additional vehicles associated to the permit may park on campus simultaneously by utilizing any short-term or daily option (meters, garages, etc.) and displaying a valid permit. Permit owners are responsible for citations that are issued to any vehicle displaying or registered to their permit without regard to the operator of the vehicle displaying the permit.

Yes, R2 and NC (behind Cline Library) zones sell out quickly. Often a waiting list may be created. Permits go on sale in early August and you can reserve the permit without paying for it until tuition and other fees are due in the fall.

Physical permits are necessary to open the gates. As technology changes, moving to a virtual permit may become an option. As the campus is using License Plate Recognition, the license plate must face the drive aisle when parked in or out of the garage.

A vehicle displaying a government license plate requires a permit when parking on campus.

University departments may order parking permits for guests. There are two types of permits: Departmental (effective date written when needed) or Conference (date and event specific). These permits are available through the parking office and may not be given to university students, faculty or staff.

Anyone performing a construction or maintenance project on campus is not considered a visitor and must follow all parking rules and regulations. The contractor must work through their NAU representative or project manager to assess parking needs that will allow for parking permits to be issued. NAU project representatives or university project managers must submit a request form. The form must be submitted at least two business days in advance to ensure the capacity for parking exists to accommodate your needs.

Vendors visiting campus are required to display a valid parking permit. Vendor parking needs that cannot be met utilizing one of the short term options can be discussed by calling the University Transit Services office at 928-523-9066.
