Registering Your Vehicle
To register for a student parking permit at Ashland University, log into the Ashland University Parking Permit Portal. Your account is managed through Single Sign-On (SSO), so simply click the “Students, Faculty, and Staff Login” button—there’s no need to create a separate account, as SSO will handle that for you automatically.
Using the Parking Permit Portal
Once you’re in the permit portal, click on the “Register a Permit” button, which can be found in multiple locations on your dashboard. In the Campus Parking Lot dropdown, select “Ashland University.” Then, choose the permit type that matches your housing assignment or student status. Next, enter your vehicle information in the required fields and click “Add to Cart.”
Before completing your registration, review your vehicle details to ensure everything is accurate, then click “Proceed to Checkout.” Once you’ve added the permit, fill out your account information, then click “Complete Registration.”
Your digital permit will be issued immediately upon completion. It will be valid for the school term and visible on your permit dashboard. You’ll also receive a confirmation email for your records.
Updating Your Permit
If you are registering a vehicle with a temporary license plate, please fill out the information with the number on your temporary tag and then update your permit once you have your permanent plates. You can update your vehicle details at any time, as long as your permit is active and valid. To begin, go to your digital permit dashboard and locate the permit associated with the vehicle you want to update. Click on “Permit / Vehicle Details” to open the specific permit page. From there, select the “Edit Vehicle” button. You can then update any relevant vehicle fields, such as license plate number or vehicle make and model, and click “Save Changes.” A confirmation message will appear at the top of the screen, and the page will automatically refresh to display your updated vehicle information. Additionally, you will receive an email confirming that the changes to your vehicle details were successfully saved.
Reimbursements
Students who graduate in December may receive a reimbursement provided for half of the cost they paid if requested prior to the start of the following spring semester.
Lot Assignments
Parking lot assignments are made on a first-come, first-served basis, based on available spots in the lot for registered student parking. When you register your vehicle, please pick the lot you wish to have if you are choosing a standard pass. Once the lots are full, you will no longer be able to choose that lot to park in and will have to choose another lot close to your dorm.
Parking On Campus Without a Permit
Students who park their vehicle on campus without properly registering their vehicle are subject to having their vehicle towed or immobilized without notice. The owner/operator of the vehicle is responsible for all associated fees. Ashland University is not responsible for any damage to vehicles that have been towed. Vehicles that are immobilized because the owner/operator has failed to register their vehicle will not have the immobilization device removed until registration is complete, and a $25 boot removal fee is paid.
Parking for Faculty and Staff
All employees of Ashland University are required to display a valid parking permit while their vehicle is parked in an Ashland University parking lot. To register your vehicle(s), please complete the Faculty/Staff Parking Registration Form.
After registering your vehicle, employees will be issued one permit free of charge which can be moved between vehicles you own and drive to campus. This permit will be sent through campus mail to the department and/or office indicated on the form. Employee permits will not be issued to students and cannot be loaned to or used by Ashland University students. Dependents of university employees must adhere to the student parking regulations and vehicle registration. Dependents are unable to use an employee pass for any reason.
Ashland University employees are not required to renew parking permits annually. Safety Services will notify the campus community shortly before a new renewal period begins.
Parking Appeals
Questions or concerns regarding a parking violation should be directed to Ashland University Safety Services. If the situation is not resolved to your satisfaction, you may submit an appeal. The appeal option will come via email within 24 hours of receiving your ticket. This notice will come with the information about your parking violation, along with the option to appeal or pay the ticket without appeal. If you do not receive the email and would still like to appeal your ticket, please submit an appeal using the Parking Appeals Form.
You may also reach out directly by emailing the Operations Manager or Director of Safety Services, along with coming by the office in person to discuss your received parking violation. Appeals must be filed within 72 hours of the parking violation notice. All tickets will be charged to the student account if they are not appeal or the appeal has been denied.
The outcome of the appeal will be communicated to the individual in writing or verbally by only the Operations Manager or Director of Safety Services.
