POLICY

It is the policy of the Western Oregon University Safety Services Office to 
require all persons parking a vehicle in campus parking lots and property 
must display a valid, recognized parking permit or park at a meter with time 
remaining.  Those wishing to purchase a full year parking permit are required
to complete and sign a Motor Vehicle Registration and Parking Permit application 
form prior to being issued a parking permit.

Exceptions:  An exception to this policy is granted by providing complimentary 
parking permits to the Western Foundation members, financial donors and to all 
retirees from Western.  The University Advancement's office will submit 
applications for the annual parking permits to the parking office.  Permits
will be prepared and provided at no cost and no billing will be sent to the 
foundation office.  The permit revenue reduction, permit costs and staff time 
will be absorbed by the university parking program.

    PURPOSE

The purpose of this policy is to require all vehicles parked on the campus of
