Enforcement

Enforcement of parking policies will commence on the first day of classes.  Each member of the Marist community should park in the lot(s) where your permit is assigned.  There are signs at each parking lot entrance for your reference.  Fines vary from $30 to $100 per violation, and repeat offenders will be booted. This includes the failure to display a parking decal.

Parking Permits

Parking on campus is limited to those vehicles registered with the Office of Safety and Security and for which a Marist College parking permit has been issued.

Permits issued are valid for the specified lot only. All student vehicles must be registered for each academic year. Faculty, administrator, and staff permits will be issued upon hiring and reissued as required. All permits must be affixed to the driver's side rear seat window.

Parking decals will be mailed to the address of your choice.

These permits can be obtained, with appropriate medical documentation, through local law enforcement agencies. The official plates or local permits will be recognized only when the driver of the vehicle or the passenger present is the individual to whom the plates/permits are issued. The College does not issue handicap parking permits. Please be aware that handicap parking rules are enforced on campus by the Town of Poughkeepsie Police Department as well as Marist College Security. Staff and student vehicles with handicapped permits must have their cars registered with the Office of Safety and Security.
