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 events parking and all temporary parking arrangements on campus are to be scheduled and approved by the Public Safety Department.

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. Students can get their permits online at www.thepermitstore.com; enter Cabrini as the parking destination.

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 full week of school, including the summer Months. Registrations must be renewed at the beginning of each academic year starting August 15th, January 2nd and in May at the beginning of the summer sessions.

  • The "registration year" extends from August 15th to May 15th of the following year. 
     
  • Registration stickers must be affixed to the driver's-side passenger window on the outside of the vehicle especially if there are tinted windows. When registering, click "Get Temporary Permit." print it, and place it on the vehicle's driver's-side rear passenger window until you can replace it with the permanent sticker.
     
  • First-year resident students are not permitted to have their vehicles on campus. If there is a medical necessity for a vehicle, an off-campus job to supplement your tuition, or an approved academic reason, permission must be obtained from the Director of Public Safety.

  • 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 the public safety department at 610-902-8245 so an officer can assist you with parking.
     
  • Overnight visitors must obtain a temporary parking permit from the Department of Public Safety to park in the Dixon Center lot.
     
  • Parking permits may not be shared or transferred.

Registration Fee
Students are required to pay a registration fee of $95 for parking permits for the academic year or $55 for one semester. Approved residential freshman permits are $55 for one semester. Summer-session-only students are charged $30. Commuter students may purchase an additional sticker for a vehicle registered to them for a fee of $15. Residential students are permitted one decal per year, unless the vehicle is sold or scrapped and proof is provided when requesting a second decal.

Graduate (considered Commuter part-time) students pay a registration fee of $55 for parking permits for the academic year or $35 for one semester.

  • Roadway parking along Founder's and Chapel: faculty and staff only
  • Library Lot: faculty and staff only

It is a violation to park an unregistered vehicle on campus or fail to display a current parking permit properly. Visitors are encouraged to obtain a temporary parking pass at the public safety office. If an individual must park in a restricted area for loading and unloading, they should turn on their four-way flashers. They should not be parked in the restricted area for more than 15 minutes.

It is beneficial to call Public Safety if you are going to park temporarily in an unauthorized area. This is most important for students, especially residential freshman who are not permitted to have vehicles on campus.

Cabrini College reserves the right to boot or tow any illegally parked vehicle on campus without previous warning. The range of penalties listed online is for violations of the vehicle registrations.
