Frequently Asked Questions

These are just some of the most frequently asked questions. Click the button above to read the full rules and regulations.

How Should I Display My Parking Permit?

Permits must be displayed on the dashboard of the vehicle in the lower corner on the passenger side. Vehicles not properly displaying a valid parking permit will be ticketed and may be towed.

What Happens if My Permit is Lost or Stolen?

Lost or stolen permits must be reported to the University Police Department.

What if I Have an Outstanding or Unpaid Parking Ticket?

Students who have outstanding unpaid parking violations may have a hold placed on their student account. Faculty and staff members who have outstanding unpaid parking violations will not be able to obtain a parking permit and will be prohibited from parking on University property until outstanding parking fees have been paid. Vehicles on campus with outstanding parking fees and without a valid parking permit are subject to towing.

Can I Just Park on the Street?

All faculty, staff, and students are prohibited from parking on city streets in the neighborhoods adjacent to campus. Vehicles parked illegally are subject to ticketing and towing by the City of West Haven. This includes off-campus resident students residing at Savin Court, Main Street Apartments, and Forest Hills. There is also no parking in the Engineering and Science University Magnet School (ESUMS) lots.

Do the Parking Rules Change During Inclement Weather or other Emergencies?

The University reserves the right to modify parking rules during inclement weather or emergencies when vehicles may have to be moved. Non-resident parking is prohibited during snow emergencies or impending snow emergencies, and operators of all vehicles parked on campus must move their vehicles, as directed.

A vehicle impeding snow removal or any emergency response may be towed at the owner’s expense.

Parking for Persons with Disabilities

Connecticut state law (Sec. 14-253a) restricts parking in designated handicapped parking spaces to vehicles displaying a valid handicapped parking permit issued by the State of Connecticut or any other state or country. The use of a handicapped parking permit is only valid and legal when the person with the disability is the driver or a passenger in the vehicle. Any misuse of this privilege will result in ticketing, and the vehicle may be towed at the owner’s expense. These vehicles must also display a University of New Haven parking permit if the owner/operator is a student or employee of the University. Vehicles displaying a valid handicapped parking permit can park in any marked handicapped space on campus.
