Navigating parking on a university campus can sometimes be challenging. At James Madison University (JMU), Parking Services aims to streamline this process, especially with their online permit system. Before you proceed with purchasing your parking permit online, it’s crucial to understand the terms and conditions that govern this service. By using the Jmu Parking Services online platform, you are agreeing to the following stipulations designed to ensure fair and efficient parking management for everyone on campus.
Key Terms and Conditions for JMU Online Parking Permits
To ensure a smooth experience with JMU Parking Services online, take note of these essential conditions:
Accurate Information is Required
First and foremost, you must commit to providing information that is true, accurate, and complete throughout the online permit application process. This ensures that your permit is correctly associated with your vehicle and account, preventing potential issues down the line.
Resolution of Delinquent Parking Citations
It’s imperative to resolve any outstanding parking citations before you attempt to purchase a parking permit online. JMU Parking Services requires that all delinquent citations – those that are overdue and have resulted in a hold on your student account – be settled. Failure to do so will prevent you from completing your online permit purchase.
Pending Appeals and Permit Purchases
If you currently have any parking citations under appeal, the online system will temporarily restrict you from purchasing a permit. However, JMU Parking Services understands that circumstances may require immediate permit acquisition. In such cases, you can still process your permit purchase by visiting the Parking Services office directly, even while your appeal is pending review.
Immediate Hold Removal and Contacting Parking Services
In situations where you need a student hold indicator removed urgently after resolving delinquent citations, direct communication with JMU Parking Services is necessary. You are required to contact them by phone during their normal business hours. Customer service representatives will assist you, and they can remove the hold indicator upon verification of your online payment and confirmation that all delinquent citations have been resolved.
Financial Responsibility for Appeal Outcomes
By utilizing the online appeal system, you accept full financial liability for any parking citations that are upheld following the conclusion of your appeal. It is important to understand that if your appeal is unsuccessful, you are responsible for paying the citation fees.
Responsibility for Vehicle and Permit Misuse
You assume complete responsibility for any violations or misuse associated with your vehicle or parking permit. This responsibility extends to situations where another individual operates your vehicle or displays your permit on university-owned or leased property. Whether it’s you or someone else using your permit or vehicle, you are accountable for adherence to JMU parking regulations.
Restrictions on Student Vehicle Registration
Under no circumstances are students permitted to register a vehicle for another student. This restriction applies universally to all students, including those who are married. Each student must register their own vehicle and cannot register a vehicle on behalf of another student.
Vehicle Ownership Certification
When purchasing a parking permit through the online portal, you must certify that you are either the registered vehicle owner, or the spouse or dependent of the registered owner. This ensures that permits are issued to individuals with a legitimate connection to the vehicle being registered for campus parking.
