Parking Information
Registering Your Vehicle and Parking Permit:
All persons desiring to operate a motor vehicle on campus property are required to register the motor vehicle with security. Registration forms can be found at the Physical Facilities Office, Security Office or on line. After filling out a form, Campus Security will issues a parking permit. The parking permit must be attached to the bottom corner of the rear window on the driver's side (back window not side window).
Loss, Damage or Replacement Permit
Anyone who loses their permit or the permit gets damaged should report it to security immediately to get a replacement permit for their vehicle. If at some time during the year you get a new car, you will need to register that vehicle by contacting security.
Handicap Parking Permits
UMM Security issues temporary "Campus Only" Handicapped Parking Permits. Only vehicles
displaying a Handicapped Permit or Temporary Handicapped Permit may park in "Reserved for Handicapped" parking spaces or any other areas designated for disabled persons such as an
access ramp or curb out. Cars being issued a temporary handicap pass on campus should also have a
valid handicap plate or placard.
