PARKING PERMITS

All vehicles parked on Mansfield University property must display a current parking permit. Hang tag permits must be displayed from the rearview mirror when parked. Temporary permits must be displayed on the front dash, readily visible from the exterior.

Persons who already have a state issued handicapped/disabled plate, placard, or hangtag do not need to purchase any other parking permit to park in a disabled reserved space.  However, employees and students with handicapped parking privileges must still register their vehicles with the University Police Department and present their handicapped placard identification card.

It will be the responsibility of the owner/operator to notify University Police of any change (trade, addition, or deletion) to vehicle information.

The permit becomes void when the decal identification is no longer distinguishable. All expired permits must be removed from the vehicle.
