Employee parking permit fees are billed via a Payroll deduction on Workday. If you receive citations or order a 20 Day Pass Book, those charges are applied to your Student Financial Services account.

If your vehicle receives a parking citation on campus, here’s what you need to know:

• You’re responsible for any citations issued to your vehicle—even if someone else was driving or it wasn’t registered.
• If your citation is because you are unregistered, registering your vehicle within 3 days of the citation may allow it to be voided—but only on your first offense.
• Each fine is $50, including forced registration, unregistered, wrong permit, etc.
• If you believe the citation was issued in error or there were special circumstances, you can file a Parking Citation Petition online within 10 days for review by SPU’s Transportation Manager.
• Citation charges are added to your Student Financial Services (SFS) account for the quarter in which they occurred.
• Citation fees and 20 day pass book fees are billed via your SFS account even for employees. Permits are billed via voluntary payroll deduction.
