UNF Faculty and Staff Permits

Thank you for being apart of the UNF family! As a family member you have the option of choosing between a transferable permit that hangs from the rear-view mirror or an affixed sticker that must be displayed to the exterior of the vehicle on the driver's side rear window or on the driver's side rear bumper. You also have the opportunity of purchasing a permit prior to the student permit sales date. Permit sale dates can be viewed through Osprey Update for Faculty and Staff, MyWings and Permits and Rates located on the Parking & Transportation Services website. Purchase your permit as soon as it goes on sale because the more desirable permits tend to sell out quickly. The permit category: Faculty/Staff combined the separate permit categories of 1st Floor Garages and Designated. Other permit categories such as Premium, Lots 14/18/53 ONLY and Motorcycle will continue to be available to faculty and staff.

How do I purchase a permit?

You may do so through your online MyWings account or through Purchase Permits tab on the Parking & Transportation Services web page. It may take 7 - 14 business days prior to receiving the decal in the mail. During that time, you will need to print the temporary pass provided at the end of the online transaction.
How may I pay for the permit?

The preferred payment method is by using the 24-payment payroll deduction. This is pre-taxed and allows for any changes to the account, such as upgrades and permit returns, to be much easier. Or you may pay with a one-time deduction or pay the full amount owed with a MasterCard, VISA, American Express or Discover credit card. All transactions must be completed online.
What if my temporary permit expires before I receive my decal in the mail?

Visit Parking & Transportation Services in Building 52. We will provide you with another temporary permit.

If you have not received your decal after 21 business days from the online order date, please visit us and we will assist you in obtaining one.
How is the permit to be displayed?

If you have a hanging permit, please hang it from your rear-view mirror with the permit number facing out. It must be clearly visible to our parking patrollers. If you have a sun shield/shade, please make sure that it doesn't block the permit's visibility from the exterior of the car.

For an affixed style permit to be valid for parking at UNF, it must be displayed unaltered and it must be permanently affixed using the permit's adhesive properties to the exterior glass of the vehicle. It is recommended to adhere the sticker on the exterior of the driver's side rear window or on the driver's side rear bumper so that is clearly visible to the parking patrollers. Using any type of tape other than the permit's adhesive will result in a citation.

For unusually constructed vehicles, please contact the Parking & Transportation Services (904) 620-2815 for any exceptions to this required permit placement. It is crucial that the permit must be clearly visible when the vehicle is parked on campus. Parking with rear bumper up against a wall in a garage such that a permit affixed to the rear bumper cannot be seen or having a tool box in a pick-up obscuring the view of a permit affixed to the rear window are examples of offenses that will result in parking citations.
What if I drive more than one vehicle?

After you have purchased your primary permit online, please visit Parking & Transportation Services in Building 52, to obtain additional permits. Offered additional permits include Lot 14/18/53 ONLY or Motorcycle categories.
If you no longer need your parking permit

If the permit is not returned upon terminating employment with the University, the remaining amount owed to cover the annual price will be deducted from your final pay. If the permit is not returned upon termination and the final pay does not cover the amount owed, the remaining amount owed will be immediately due and payable in full. No refund is available after termination. No refund is available if you chose to pay for your permit with cash or with a one-time pay deduction.
How do I remove a prior UNF affixed permit decal?

To remove the permit first apply heat to it with hot water, then use a plastic scraper or an edge of a plastic card to lift one of the permit corners. Slowly pull off the remaining decal.
