Students are granted a one-week grace period at the beginning of the semester to familiarize themselves with where they can and cannot park, so there is now little tolerance for improper parking.
With parking permits costing $36.25 for part-time and $72.50 for full-time
students, nobody wants to pay a $25.00 parking ticket.
As stated on the PSUC Web site, "The parking fee represents direct costs associated with maintaining and monitoring all campus parking facilities and is not meant to guarantee availability of convenient parking."
One concern raised by many students is the off-campus parking spaces being taken in the Myers parking lot by trailers that have been there since the beginning of the semester. Another is the continued allowance of freshmen to bring vehicles to campus. A factor that may be involved in the sudden lack of parking is an increase in the number of students with vehicles.
The school does not intend to extend parking onto the grass or limit freshmen parking, so students may have to get used to one thing - walking a little further.
