Students (Resident, Graduate and Commuter)
AUM continues to grow, which means our campus is busier than ever. Additionally, access to our campus is not restricted by gates or boundaries. So, in the interest of safety for our students, faculty and staff, and visitors and guests, and to accommodate the growing need for parking, AUM adopted its current Parking Policy.
Yes, all AUM students are allowed to park on campus with the appropriate parking permit/registration.
Yes. Because your permit does not expire until the beginning of the next academic year, AUM cannot deduct the remaining cost if you do not return after the fall semester.
However, students who start classes during the spring semester or register for summer classes will have the cost of their parking permits prorated for the remainder of the academic year.
General permits for non-resident students will be charged to student accounts. Resident Student parking permit fees are included in their housing fees.
Students with registered vehicles may park in any General Permit Parking area or, with appropriate permitting, in Resident Parking areas.
Resident Student parking permits are restricted to residential lots only and not in any of the general parking lots or the Wellness Center lot.
If you wish to add a general parking pass that allows you to park on campus outside of Housing lots, you may register for the Housing/General permit for a $30.00 fee: Decal fees will be placed on your student account.
Any student who purchases an AUM License Plate will received their General Parking Permit for free.

Faculty and Staff

Your office or department can generate temporary (one-day) visitor parking passes that can be emailed to your visitor prior to their visit. If you cannot generate the temporary pass or do not have enough advance notice, you should direct your visitor to the Campus Police Department to register their vehicle.
Faculty and Staff can register additional vehicles either when they make their initial registration or after the fact. The additional vehicle registration is completed within the parking registration portal and is different for each type of Faculty and Staff permit.
If you and your spouse / partner are both AUM employees, you must each complete individual vehicle registrations. If you both intend to use Faculty and Staff Reserved parking permits for your separate vehicles, you must each register separately and pay the $75 registration fee.

Faculty and Staff members who are re-registering an AUM License Plate will only pay a $5.00 administrative fee.
