Operations Office and to pay the parking permit fee. Every motorist must have proof
of ownership to register any vehicle on campus. Additionally, in accordance with North
Carolina general statutes, students are required to show proof of insurance. The Chancellor
shall have authority to establish the number of vehicles any motorist may register
and operate pursuant to these regulations.

the advantages of this program is that the permits are continuous as long as the member
remains enrolled in the payroll deduction program. If you need to change your vehicle or license plate information, you may do so online. If your permit is lost or damaged, please contact the Parking
Operations Office.
