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 and below on this web page. 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 Blue, Gray and Motorcycle will continue to be available to faculty and staff.

• When does my Annual or Term permit expire?

  Expiration dates are displayed on the permits. An Annual permit year includes August 16 till August 15 of the following year. For example, the 2013-2014 permit year began August 16, 2013 and will expire August 15, 2014. Unlike a Term permit, which may last from five to six months. For example, the 2014 Spring Term permits started selling December 4, 2013 and will expire May 15, 2014.

   

  Parking with an expired permit will result in a citation.

• 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 purchase additional permits. Offered additional permits include Gray or Motorcycle categories.
• If you no longer need your parking permit

  If you are a 9-month faculty or staff employee using the 24-payment plan, be sure to turn it in at Parking & Transportation Services, Building 52 at the end of the year and stop your payments. This also applies to any employee, for whatever reason, no longer wishes to park in University garages and lots.

   

  If you terminate employment with the University or other circumstances result in you no longer requiring a UNF parking permit, you may be eligible for a partial refund. If you selected the regular pay deduction method to pay for your parking permit, you can return your permit and deductions will cease following your next pay. 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. If it shreds, return the pieces when requesting for a replacement. In order to avoid possible vehicle damage please refrain from using a razor blade. If you have an issue removing the permit, please visit Parking & Transportation Services, Building 52.
• What if I only come to campus once or twice a week?
  The less expensive permit category, Gray annual or term may be the best value to you. Or you will need to purchase a $5 Daily Permit from the Parking Information booths or a $2 permit from the Park and Display machines in Lot 18 and 53 every time you intend to park on campus. You must park in areas listed on the daily permit. For example, the $2 Daily Permit from a Pay and Display machine in Lot 18 and 53, will restrict parking to only the Gray Lots such as 14, 18, 53 and 60. (Take the Osprey Connector shuttle to campus) The $5 Daily Permit from the Parking Information booths will allow you to park in the Blue Lots designated with Blue lot signs and on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floor of the garages. This permit will not allow parking in orange-lined Faculty/Staff spaces, numbered spaces marked Reserved or spaces marked Restricted, or in Lots 7, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16 and 17.
• What do I do if my permit is stolen?
  You will need to file a report with the University Police Department (Building 41) and with Parking and Transportation Services (Building 52), so we can track the permit. Provide the copy of the police report to Parking Services and a replacement permit will be issed for administrative fee of $5.
• What if I lost my permit?
  Report the lost permit information to Parking and Transportation Services (Building 52). Lost permits will be replaced upon receipt of a completed Lost Permit Affirmation form for an administration fee of $20.
• What if my vehicle is in the shop? What if the back windshield gets broken or the back bumper will be replaced?

  If you have the hanging style permit, you may transfer it to a temporary vehicle.

   

  For an affixed permit: If your four-wheeled vehicle is in the shop and you are driving a four-wheeled loaner, visit Parking & Transportation Services, Building 52 to obtain a temporary permit valid for one day. If you need a temporary permit for more than one day, you will need to provide a note from the repair shop stipulating the duration of repairs. You may obtain up to six temporary parking permits per semester per parking account from Parking Services, Building 52.

   

  The temporary issued permit will be of the same permit category of the original purchased permit. If the back windshield or rear bumper with the affixed permit is broken or if you sell your vehicle, bring the permit or pieces of it to Parking & Transportation Services, Building 52 to obtain the same category replacement parking permit for free. If your primary vehicle is a two-wheeled motorcycle and it is damaged in an accident, should you choose to drive a four-wheeled vehicle as your primary vehicle going forward, you must pay the full cost of the new permit.

• Are temporary motorcycle permits issued?

  Yes; when a person who owns a valid UNF parking permit arrives on a two-wheeled motorized vehicle, a one-day temporary parking permit can be issued for parking in any motorcycle spaces on campus. The temporary parking permit will be marked by Parking Services as being valid for a motorcycle and motorcycle parking spaces only.

   

  The individual of the two-wheeled vehicle is responsible for the display of the temporary parking permit as they deem appropriate as long as it is completely visible to a person standing next to the vehicle.
