Frequently Asked Questions
1. I just throw the citations away.
Why should I follow the parking regulations?
Parking regulations are in effect to
create a fair and safe parking environment.
Citations issued by Salisbury University Police are written
under the Maryland Uniform Citation Code and carry the weight
and importance of citations issued by any law enforcement agency
in the state of Maryland. Fines not paid within 15 days will
incur a $10 late fee, fines not paid within 21 days will incur a
$20 late fee and be placed on the violator's account at the
Cashier's Office.
2. As a part-time or evening commuter
student, do I really need to purchase a parking permit?
YYes, everyone is required to purchase a
permit if they park on campus. Commuting students may purchase
the Evening Only Permit that allows parking in the Parking
Garage and Main/East Campus lots from 5:15 p.m. until 7:45 a.m.
Monday through Friday.
3. If
I have a valid parking permit, can I park at a meter without
paying?
No,
meters are intended for visitors, although students may utilize
parking meters as long as time is on the meter for the period of
time the vehicle is parked.
4. What should I do if I lose my parking permit?
If the permit is lost or stolen, it must be reported immediately
to the University Police prior to being able to purchase a
replacement. The replacement fee is the same amount as the
original fee.
5. If I receive a parking citation for
"Failure to Register Vehicle" and have a valid parking permit,
do I have to pay the fine?
Bring the citation and your permit to
the Office of Parking Services. Once we have verified you have
a valid permit for that parking lot, the citation will be
voided.
6. How do I purchase a parking permit?
You may
purchase your permit online by accessing your GullNet account
and following navigation path: Self-Service>Campus
Finances>Make a payment. You will only be able to select
permit types for which you are eligible based on your class
standing. If a particular permit type has been sold out at
the time of your purchase, it will be noted on the screen and
you may select another option. Upon completion of the
online portion of the process, take a copy of your printed
confirmation page, driver's license and vehicle registration
card to the Parking Services Office located in the East Campus
Complex to complete the registration process and receive your
permit. (Permits will be available for purchase online
beginning 8/3/09.)
7. Is it okay to park in front of a building as long as I
put on my flasher for a short period?
No, not even
for one minute. If
no one is in the vehicle, it is considered a safety violation
and a prohibited parking citation may be issued.
