Vehicle Registration

The roadways of the College and its parking spaces fall under the jurisdiction of the Department of Public Safety, which is responsible for the administration and enforcement of regulations designed to facilitate an orderly traffic flow on campus. These regulations apply to students, faculty, staff, and visitors.

Infractions of these regulations are the responsibility of the person who registered the vehicle on campus. The College is not responsible for loss due to theft or damage to vehicles that occur on College property.

Special-event parking and all temporary parking arrangements on campus are to be scheduled and approved by Public Safety.

Vehicle Registration
All vehicles operated and parked on College property by full- and part-time students, faculty, and staff must be registered with the college.

Permits are available 24 hours a day and should be acquired before the beginning of the school year. Parking regulations will be enforced beginning the second week of school, including summer months.

Registration stickers must be affixed to the driver's-side passenger window on the outside of the vehicle.

Students can get their permits online at www.thepermitstore.com.
Enter Cabrini as the parking destination.
When registering, click "Get Temporary Permit." Print the temporary permit and place it on the vehicle's driver's-side rear passenger window.

Vehicle registration does not guarantee a parking space, but affords the registrant the opportunity to park in authorized areas where sufficient space is available.

If you cannot find a legal parking space, please call 610-902-8245 for assistance.
Visitors are encouraged to obtain a temporary parking pass at the Public Safety office.
Overnight visitors must obtain a temporary parking permit from Public Safety and park in the Dixon Center lot.

Parking permits may not be shared or transferred, and registrations must be renewed at the beginning of each academic year starting August 15, January 2, and in May at the beginning of summer sessions. The "registration year" extends from August 15 to May 15 of the following year.

First-Year Students
First-year resident students are not permitted to park anywhere on campus at any time.

If there is a medical necessity for a vehicle, an off-campus job to supplement tuition, or an approved academic reason, students must apply for permission from the Director of Public Safety.
