For those who purchase the "all lots annual permit" - Duplicate permits are only available to UMC staff and are intended as a convenience to staff who may bring different vehicles to campus. The duplicate permits do not cover situations where one family will have two vehicles on campus at the same time.
WARNING: Possession of lost, stolen, or counterfeited parking permits will result in towing of vehicle and may result in criminal prosecution.
 Guidelines
The UMC campus has nine lots (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and J)
available for campus parking. Handicapped spaces are
available in each lot. Overnight parking is allowed in lots C,
D, E, and F. Overnight parking in Lots A, G, and J have designated
overnight parking areas marked with the appropriate
signage.
The UMC campus observes an open parking policy which
allows vehicles with valid parking permits to park in open
spaces on a "first-come first-served" basis.
Parking is not permitted on streets, in loading zones, or in any
spaces other than those designated in the nine parking lots.
All vehicles must be parked within the designated parking
spaces.
For 2009-10 parking will be allowed on the campus mall
street. Those who purchase the "ALL LOTS PERMIT" will be
allowed to park in the right lane of the mall road. The areas
where permit parking is allowed will have the appropriate
signage. NO OVERNIGHT PARKING will be allowed on the
campus mall street.
Parking in the Northwest Research and Outreach Center
(NWROC) parking lots by UMC staff or students is not
permitted without a valid NWROC parking permit.

personnel. Ticket fines are paid to the Crookston Police
Department. Unauthorized vehicles in loading zones, no
parking zones, reserved parking spaces, handicapped spaces
are subject to be ticketed, towed and stored at the owners
expense. Violators who have received more than two
tickets during the academic year will be subject to be towed
and stored at owner’s expense for each subsequent ticket

Services Office at 1110 Centennial Hall. For information on

- Special "service vehicle" hang tags will be issued to specific employees of the University who occasionally park a University or personal vehicle in a "service vehicle only" parking space in order to complete their job responsibilities. The special hang tags will be authorized by the parking committee (through an application process) and may only be used in the circumstances described above and does not allow employees to avoid purchasing a parking permit for regular parking on campus.
Reserved Parking

The reserved permit is an annual permit for a reserved parking space in either D lot, E lot or the F-Reserved lot. The reserved parking space includes an electrical outlet for cold temperatures.

parking lots. There are limited reserved parking
spaces available.

the electrical outlets if they know they will not be
using their vehicle the following day.

reserved parking permit may use the electrical
outlets provided. Any vehicle without a valid
reserved parking permit, which is plugged into a
