Parking on campus Students are allowed to have a vehicle on campus with the purchase of a parking permit. Permits are good for one year, from August through July, and cost $90/vehicle, $50/motorcycle or scooter for the 2013-2014 school year. Go to your CatPAWS account and register your vehicle anytime after Aug. 1 for fall 2014– summer 2015. The parking permit registration link is under the Personal Information section.
Northwest Computing Services provides maintenance and repair for University issued laptops at no cost to the student. Repairs are commonly done by swapping computers. Service and repairs are not provided on machines students choose to bring to campus.
Once registered, visit the Student Services Center in the Administration Building with your Bearcat Card and pick up your parking permit when you arrive for Advantage Week in August.
