Permit Ownership - A parking permit signifies an individual has been granted the privilege of parking on University property. Ownership of the parking permit remains with IUN.
Permit Display - A permit must be clearly visible and properly displayed, whether it is a hangtag, temporary permit, or sticker. Hang tags should hang from the rearview mirror or be taped to the center top of the windshield of a vehicle or place on the dashboard of the driver side face up.
