Online permits may be paid with a credit/debit card or billed to your student account at the time it is ordered. If it is billed to your account, the permit can be paid like any other charge with cash, check, or a credit/debit card at the Student Accounts window located on the lower level of Lowell Heiny Hall. Many loans, scholarships, and other financial aid may also be used to pay for your permit.

Parking Services designates parking lots for residence hall students, commuter students, faculty and staff. Permits are designated for each parking lot for organizational and enforcement purposes.

Residence hall parking lots are used virtually 24 hours a day during the school year. The wear and tear on a residence hall lot is more excessive than on a lot with a different permit designation because they require more overall maintenance.

You can add new vehicle or update plate information to your permit through your parking account. If you are having issues changing your plate information, please stop by the Parking Services Office for assistance.

Persons who accumulate five or more parking violation notices or more than $100 in unpaid fines will be subject to the vehicle being fit with a boot. Towing will occur when a valid permit is not registered to a vehicle and will be at the owner's expense.

You run the risk of having a financial stop put on your student account. This may impact your ability to register for classes, obtain grades and transcripts, or even to graduate. Unpaid tickets left on student accounts will eventually be forwarded to a collection agency. If you are not a current CMU student, unpaid parking citations will be sent to a collection agency. This may affect the credit rating of the vehicle's registered owner. In addition, individuals with outstanding citations may be subject to booting and/or towing while parked anywhere on Colorado Mesa University owned property.
