​​​​​Please follow the placement instructions on the permit decal to be sure it is visible when parking on campus:

  • The decal should be placed on the lower driver’s side of the windshield where it does not interfere with your vision or the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN plate).
    • The decal will lightly adhere to the windshield, allowing it to be easily removed and placed from one vehicle to another.
    • Rear-view mirror decal hangers may be purchased from mycampuspermit.com for $3.
  • Parking permit decals on motorcycles must be displayed on the outside of the front fork.
  • There will be no sales of additional parking decals for alternate vehicles.

  • All disputes are processed through the online process. To pay in person, visit UPD Monday through Friday during campus business hours.

We are committed to protecting the rights of those who have paid to park. The California Code of Regulations (CCR) 42201 allows permission to park on a CSU Campus only to persons that have paid a parking fee and display evidence (a permit) that they have paid. Campuses are held accountable to these parking requirements through audits conducted by the CSU. Our objective is to provide the highest quality of customer service and responsive systems that ensure fiscal integrity and compliance.

To purchase a parking permit, please visit our website at mycampuspermit.com. Students, staff, and faculty will log in using their campus ID and password. You will need to be prepared to enter your credit card information, vehicle license plate, and the address you would like your parking permit mailed. Once you have purchased your permit, you will need to print your temporary parking permit and place it on your vehicle's dashboard. This permit will be good for 10 days, which should allow enough time for you to receive your parking permit in the mail and place the permanent permit on your vehicle. If you have any questions or have not received your permanent parking permit within 7-10 days, please contact the University Police Department at 209-667-3114.

Permits are not transferable from person to person. Under no circumstance may you sell, exchange, or give your permit to someone else. Inappropriate use may result in the confiscation of the decal. If a permit is not returned by the authorized permit holder, the vehicle which has the unauthorized permit may be cited.

Parking is at your own risk. The University is not responsible for the loss of, or damages to, any vehicle or its contents.
