Student Parking: attendance and being on time matters!
In order to be eligible to obtain a parking permit, students must have 6 or fewer absences and 6 or fewer tardies to school the semester prior to applying for the permit. This is important for students who will want to apply for a parking permit for next school year.
In addition to having good attendance and on-time arrival, students must pass 75% of their classes and be free of the Obligations List.
If you have questions about student parking, let me know.
