During the Summer of 2025, 海角论坛 is transitioning to virtual parking permits. By the start of the Fall 2025 semester, hangtag permits will no longer be mailed, or required. Also, temporary permits will no longer be required to be printed or displayed. With the implementation of virtual parking permits, there will be no more lost permits, and no lost permit replacement fees. Vehicles will be required to park with their license plate facing the driving lane.
Full-time Employees
Most faculty and staff members purchase a 海角论坛 parking permit while employed with the university, although an employee may choose to park and pay at the meters, or to find off-campus parking.
Cost
The monthly fee for employee parking is determined by their annual base salary as of June 1 each year and where their salary falls within the five-tier scale below. The monthly fee will be determined each time a new permit is ordered, or in the case of a continuous permit the monthly rate will be reassessed on June 1 of each year. Once the monthly rate is fixed, it will not be adjusted if there is a change in pay that occurs throughout the year. Any changes to payroll deductions for parking occur the first of June every year. The rate for new employees or employees who start their deduction throughout the year is based on their pay at the time they apply for a permit. The employee may choose to have the monthly fee paid by payroll deduction or by pre-paying for their permit. Payroll deduction is not offered to part-time employees, or those who have an appointment of less than a semester in duration.
