1. General Rules:
Parking on the Seton Hall University South Orange campus is by permit only. 24 hours a day. The university utilizes a virtual permit via license plate recognition. Violators are subject to ticketing, towing, vehicle relocation at the owner's expense, booting, forfeiture of all fees, revocation of parking privileges and/or judicial action. Permits are the property of the university and must be surrendered to Parking Services upon request for just cause. Ignorance of the parking rules and regulations is not an excuse. The driver and/or host are responsible for knowing the rules and regulations which are available at the Parking Services office and on-line at parking.shu.edu.
1.1. Permit Registration
Registration for a valid Seton Hall University parking permit is required at all times while vehicles are parked on university property. Registration applications can be completed online or submitted in person at the Parking Services Office.
1.2. Vehicle Registration
Vehicle registration is an individual responsibility. Non-receipt of registration materials or notification does not excuse failure to register a vehicle with the University. A vehicle is to be registered for an individual's own use. Registering a vehicle for another's personal use through false information is considered fraud. A student may not register another student's vehicle. Penalty for all parties involved includes a $200 fine for each person, cost of boot and/or tow, plus loss of parking privileges for an academic year.
1.3. Parking on University Property
Parking on university property is permitted for university business only. The purchase of a parking permit provides the privilege of parking on campus. Given the limited number of spaces, a parking spot is not guaranteed. The inability to find a legal parking spot does not excuse illegal parking.
1.4. Designated Parking Locations
Parking on university property is permitted only in parking lots, the parking deck, and designated areas. Vehicles must be parked entirely within a marked space. Absence of a marked space indicates NO PARKING.
1.5. Responsibility for University Parking Violations
The person who has registered the vehicle with Seton Hall University, regardless of the driver or owner of the vehicle, assumes responsibility for all outstanding university parking violations issued to a vehicle. Violations issued to a vehicle not registered with Parking Services may be investigated through state motor vehicles and other agencies. Any vehicle that is found to be registered to a relative of a current or previous Seton Hall University student or current employee will become the responsibility of that current or previous student or current employee, unless the registered owner takes responsibility for the parking violations by making payment in full. When no current or previous Seton Hall University student or current employee is found, the registered owner of the vehicle will become responsible for the parking violations. Students and employees are responsible for violations incurred by their guests.
1.6. State Registration Laws
State registration laws must be followed while parking on university property. Permits are issued for registered vehicles only. All non-university owned vehicles on campus are to be legally registered and insured in accordance with the state, if not the state of New Jersey. Use of a permit on an unregistered vehicle without valid state license plates or inspection sticker will result in the removal of that vehicle at the owner's expense.
1.7. Vehicles with Unpaid Tickets
ALL vehicles with unpaid tickets may be booted and/or towed without notice at the owner's expense. Once booted or towed the right to appeal is forfeited. Campus parking privileges may also be suspended. Unpaid tickets will result in denial of the privilege to register a vehicle to park on campus. Additionally, for students, outstanding citations will be assessed through their Bursar account; pursuant to University policy, outstanding balances may hold academic registration, transcripts, and/or diplomas. For faculty and employees outstanding citations will be assessed through payroll deduction.
1.8. Restricted Parking
