What happens if I don’t have my parking permit?

Published on by MSU Human Resources2 Comments

If you ever have to bring another vehicle on campus or you forget your parking validator, you may assume you’ll be getting a parking ticket. Luckily, there is a helpful option for those sticky situations! It’s called Calendar Permission.

MSU Police offers Calendar Permission one day out of each calendar month. It is issued in situations when you are driving a different vehicle for the day, or when you use the validator system and you’ve forgotten your validator. To receive Calendar Permission, call the Parking Office as soon as you arrive on campus at 517-355-8440, ext. 0. Let the phone operator know you need a Calendar Permission.  The operator will ask for your name and the license plate number of the vehicle that you have on campus that day.Continue Reading… What happens if I don’t have my parking permit?
