» Visitor Parking

1. Faculty/Staff, Commuters, Residents, and all SUNY New Paltz permit holders are expected to park legally at all times. Visitors please refer to the Visitor Parking page.
   
   
2. Any vehicle parked on SUNY New Paltz campus property must have a SUNY New Paltz parking permit or visitor/day permit. Parking hangtags must be displayed HANGING from the rearview mirror at all times while on campus.
3. SUNY New Paltz Faculty, Staff, and Students are not allowed to park in spaces reserved for one hour visitors.
4. Lock your car! You are responsible for your hangtag. The replacement cost for a hangtag is $20.00 and must be accompanied by a completed University Police Form LSPark-01. This form is available at the University Police Department (Service Building 100, Off Route 32) and can be completed anytime. A copy of the form must be brought to the parking office (Wooster Hall, Office of Student Accounts, Rm 114) to accompany a request for a new hangtag.

   Possessing, creating or allowing your parking tag to be duplicated for the purpose of creating a fraudulent tag will immediately result in permanent termination of your campus parking privileges.

5. If you fail to transfer your hangtag from vehicle to vehicle you must obtain a visitor pass to avoid being ticketed for no permit.

6. This parking permit is non-transferable for another person’s use. Parking privileges may be revoked for illegal use of a parking permit.
   
   
7. All guests/visitors on campus may utilize the Park and Pay machines located in the Rt. 32 lot, West campus entrance located on Hawk Drive off of Rt. 208 and Elting Main Lot adjacent to Parker Theater.

9. ADA parking spaces are labeled as such and are designated by blue paint and blue lines. Under no circumstances is parking allowed in any blue-lined ADA space or its accompanying blue-lined van accessible space without a properly displayed, valid disability permit.
