Parking decals may not be transferred from one car to another for any reason. If your vehicle is being repaired you may obtain a temporary parking permit for your secondary vehicle from the Office of Student Life.

Campus Safety Statistics In 1990, Congress enacted the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act (Title II of Public Law 101-542), which amended the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA). This act required all postsecondary institutions participating in Title IV student financial aid programs to disclose campus crime statistics and security information. The act was amended in 1992, 1998, and 2000. The 1998 amendments renamed the law the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act.
