Parking and Transportation

Parking Enforcement

Parking OfficerThe goal of Parking and Transportation Services is to provide the best in customer service to our campus communities.  Parking on campus requires a valid CSUN parking permit. Faculty, Staff, and Students are reminded that current annual or semester permits must be active the first day of classes. Parking on campus is open seven days a week, we enforce parking 24 hours a day, no overnight parking is permitted from 1am – 5am. Parking permits are required at all times in all areas of campus. A valid CSUN parking permit must be on file to avoid parking citations. Parking Officers patrol all lots daily and are authorized to issue citations on vehicles that are in violation of parking rules and regulations. All rules and regulations concerning parking may be obtained at any Campus Information Booth or the Parking Office. Our Parking Officers patrol our parking areas daily.

Citations are issued for no valid parking permit on file, no parking zones, time limit  zones, two or more vehicle sharing a parking pass in the same day, etc. Additionally, Parking Enforcement Officers handle many public assists similar to what a Freeway Patrol Service might handle.
